the bass and city train services on working any very skeletal skeletal service for some people to try and get to work and get home from work but otherwise people having to walk or use bicycles or take scooters just find other ways of getting from a to b. in this city now i'm here at the transport workers the transport headquarters i should say bars you can see some of the workers behind me and the reason they say that they've called this day of action is really to protest against the government's plans to reform france's pension system in my home i call the french president says that the pension system needs a real over all it's very costly for the french state it is unfair he says because you have a situation in which most people can retire at 62 but some could retire at 55 including some transport workers so he says he wants to streamline the system and standardize it the problem is say the workers are speaking to some of them a bit earlier they're worried that their pensions are going to be affected in the

future they're worried also that they're going to have to work for longer hours one woman told me that she is a metro train driver she's worked for the paris transport system for 30 years and she says look when i went into it i thought that i was going to be guaranteed a certain pension and now she feels very uncertain about what the future holds. and how easy it will be for president mccrimmon to to push through with the pension reforms. or pushing through anything for reform and for all this is never particularly easy but especially this one because most people are affected most french people have to pay into the french public pension system every day and private pension systems and past persons have really tried to overhaul the pension system because it is so costly but they have failed because they've been met with street demonstrations so it's unlikely to be an easy task for president micron even very personally it's going to be very risky

because over the past year he's not afraid difficult time to mystically particularly because of the yellow vest movement with a lot of anger very personally directed at him many processes in that movement seeing him as are going to out of touch with people's concerns and needs so he's going to be very careful indeed with this reform to make sure that he does it in a way that people feel consulted and we've already seen some of that the prime minister has announced that there will be a lengthy public consultation he's already begun talks with trade unions because the president will not want to see a new wave of street demonstrations but such a butler in paris thank you the united nations says 2000000 people are at risk of starvation in somalia drought and violence by the arm. are forcing huge numbers to see safety and food in cities how about a report from by dawn. there seems to be no letup in the flow of people

into the city or by door insult. they've been displaced by drought and most are hungry and desperate. the few medical facilities run by agencies are full of sick. children. like most people here more to a limb have to walk more than 10 kilometers to get help for his sick child and the need. my son is a year old and has been sick for 2 months i had to bring him here for help i have no intention of returning to a village to he's fully recovered. on the outskirts of the city we meet more displaced people who've just arrived. during droughts in the past many lifted too late before moving to sick help but that seems to of changed the must have movement of people to the cities ha seen a huge rice in the number of pumps for the displaced in by door in 2016 there

were just 70 such comments today there are 401 3rd to 5 for them with a population of more than 360000 people. that is more than the original inhabitants of the city aid workers say the world has failed to respond adequately and they need more donations to have a mission id be the numbers of those in need keep growing by day and far outstrip the resources we have the donors are trying their best but we've never seem to be able to catch up with a growing number of displaced. people united nations emergency aid coordinator husband visiting by door he says people here need much more than food aid patient development a way solution ideally people would have a chance to go home and rebuild their lives it's not always possible say then is a question often of land access to services and support where they come to and that in that means there is a need for a supportive discussion from the local authorities some of the displaced told us

that also fled the violence a fight is who also forcing children to join the group this crisis is happening as communities are already struggling to recover from a 2 year long drought and that in 2017 nomadic pastoralism has been a way of life for millions of somalis for centuries but the drought south threatening that many of the displaced say they now have no farms or hearts to go back to and it's unlikely many of them will every time how many other well just baidoa in southwest somalia. a much more coming up in this news hour we'll get a check on the last day of campaigning as 26 candidates vie to become tunisia's next president. and putin celebrates russia's top 5 more with leader in sport.

still ahead but 1st pakistan's prime minister says he wants the world to know that india's crackdown in kashmir cannot go on imran khan is holding a rally in was offered a bad the capital a pakistan administered kashmir it's been more than a month since new delhi revote the indian administered kashmir is all told me almost 4000 people have been arrested since then come on high is life 1st in muzaffarabad so come on the prime minister addressing that rally in pakistan and minister kapil kashmir what's it all about. you mentioned. happening on the other side of the line of control in indian administered kashmir where that go for you now entered into its 4th year after a unilateral move by the indian government to revoke article 370 and take away that

. the bug a tiny prime minister will be speaking before the board. any more than the next few days it is likely to be going to new york where he really should be addressing the united nations general assembly meeting by the enron hit their targets on regard to any limit i thought of that support for their cause really people it concerned. the georgian. minute because for me to send a message across that line of their why i needed on the other side their targets don stand by down no matter what happened and what's the latest situation then on the pakistan side of the of the line of control also known as the line of divide. well the situation is very tense and yesterday pakistan reported that it did you know it's one of its soldiers in a cease fire violation their stuff coming out of india also the indian military

chief saying that the indian military would ready to cross that line should the government make that decision on the pakistani side the message of those surveyed that if india approach the line then pakistan will respond in a very strong way so that situation quite alarming. cease fire violations are quite common between the 2 countries each accusing the other of breaking that cease fire agreement so all eyes on that line of control which are one of the most militarized regions in the world and raise their wage board the pakistani and indian military 40. times commode. now an egyptian businessman is causing a storm by posting videos on social media detailing alleged corruption by president to his sisi an army generals mohammad ali who worked as

a military contractor for 15 years says they wasted billions of dollars on villas hotels and a seaside palace for sisi he's putting these videos online from spain where he lives in self-imposed exile some have attracted more than a 1000000 views among the public while some people are demanding he be tried for treason i wonder why spend a huge amount of money building these houses i never understood his decision was he staying in a one bedroom apartment of course not the problem was that these wife didn't want to sleep in the same home when mubarak's wife stayed cc's taken low level corruption to a new level i built 5 villas facilities a palace for the president and a military camp in cairo i built a home in alexandria for the c.c. family despite it being an official residence in the same compound the modifications demanded by cc's wife cost more than $1500000.00 the army also ordered me to build 120 $5000000.00 hotel in cairo's 5th see it all meant.

is here he is a chair of media in general at the institute for graduate studies joins me now and said what more about this thanks very much for being with us so what do you make of these videos that some of the got more than a 1000000 views in egypt so clearly they have hit a nerve with people there why is that well number one egypt is a country that suffers from acute poverty according to egypt's government authority about 33 percent of egyptians live on just over a dollar a day see see the president himself has told the egyptians in public addresses that and i'm on d.h. i don't have anything how can i give you funds how can i give you money how can i support you so this is the larger context so now you have a man coming forward from inside the military apparatus essentially worked with the military for 15 years saying that the government is squandering many millions of

egyptian pounds so it's newsworthy for that reason because he has intricate details about. wasteful government spending and corruption and also because he's an insider he has been pointed out though that he hasn't offered much in the way of documented proof is that a problem it's not a problem for most egyptians for many reasons 1st and foremost egyptians largely know that the government is corrupt i mean egypt egyptians aren't dumb. egypt scores very low on all of the corruption indexes right the more we know about the corruption during the mubarak presidency for example so i do know that the military controls the egyptian economy some estimates suggest that the egyptian military controls up to 50 percent of the economy they manufacture bottled water they manufacture furniture they own construction companies and i could go that's a very long laundry list so when he says these things it resonates because people

sort of already believe it i want to ask you as well about the fact that muhammad ali himself has said that part of the reason. he's doing this is because the government has him money for one of these projects millions in fact and so in that sense he has an ax to grind and people in egypt who support the government have questioned his motives for doing this that he's essentially just a kind of disgruntled employee how how should we view all of this in that context or this is the government's main talking point right there saying now that you know he's a muslim brotherhood sympathizer they're saying that he's got an ax to grind that we shouldn't believe anything anything that he's saying but the reality on the ground is that many egyptians are watching these videos they're starting to have doubts even sisi supporters are starting to have doubts about his integrity as a leader and about the military's integrity so i think it's significant the last thing i want to say about this is that we have to keep an eye on potential fractures inside the the military apparatus is possible that muhammad ali has been sort of commissioned or sent by someone we know that there are factions inside the

military we know that there are those who aren't sympathetic to c.c. this is one of the reasons why sisi went so hard after people like sami a. few during the present last round of presidential elections arresting them a limited income from the political scene to speak of thanks so much now indonesia and malaysia blaming each other for the smoky haze blanketing southeast asian cities far as have been burning in parts of indonesia sumatra and borneo arlen's for more than a month small d. is also affecting malaysia which the government says has drifted from indonesian president joke we don't know has hit back saying fire is also burning in malaysia and on malaysian plantations in indonesia. is rising sea levels threaten indonesia's capital president. is there to back up plan to relocate it to the island of borneo but it's reports now there are concerns about what that will mean

for the people who live there. this largely untouched part of east montoya on will become the new capital of indonesia if the president has his way. it's in stark contrast to the capital jakarta clogged with heavy traffic smog and sinking the pressure to move is rising along with sea levels which may mean the city of more than 10000000 people could be under water within the next 30 years and this is where the city's relocation may end up borneo island known for its lush rain forest and rare wildlife. while it was chosen for being less prone to earthquakes and floods there are concerns the massive move will threaten conservation efforts activists say mining and logging have already damaged some areas. will destroy the eco system it will cause forest the structure and raise the temperature of forest fires and during the drought will create

a water shortage. moving the capital has been discussed for decades but recently resurrected by president djoko we don't own. estimates to cost $32000000000.00 it will be one of the world's largest single infrastructure projects. the plan is to build the city on land between east cali montages 2 largest cities balik pub and summer into connected by this 1009 clomid to long toll road. the 1st stage of construction will be around this land will be a presidential palace ministries and housing for governments and schools elsewhere they'll be hotels businesses and offices to meet the demands of the cities of new population. while the new capital is welcomed by many indonesians villages in pasir fear they'll be forced off land they've lived on for generations. we worry about the legality of our land only 20 percent of us have a legal document that he lost to us foreigner have been coming here it's goes

intention in the community. government leaders in jakarta say the exact site of the new city hasn't been revealed told void property speculation. we don't need to ask people when we want to move the capital it's up to the government to decide as long as we don't destroy the environment or harm anybody. while plans are still in the early stages the 1st construction is expected to be completed by 2020 full movie and entire capital city will be a delicate balancing act for indonesia's leaders preserving the natural habitat while building their vision for a new concrete jungle for him hamad al jazeera borneo in indonesia. jan is here with the weather in a moment and then. when brought in the epicenter of india's longest running armed rebellion to find out if a political solution is finally in sight we'll also look at new zealand's latest
