8:04 pm
is any evidence that it wasn't. that. there would be some kind of physical evidence that could be presented after the attack and after an examination of the attack site and so in the absence of any physical evidence being presented we would have to still continue with that belief that the who. launched this attack as we've seen before their capability in this kind of attack is being increasing. markedly over the over the months and the years that they've been doing this so it's entirely plausible that the that the who these have done it and until we have evidence to the contrary that's what we're going to have to go with palestinian refugees in lebanon say they don't have enough money to live and they're demanding asylum they're possessed of say a government crackdown and for the workers is adding to their problems xina holder reports from beirut. they're demanding a dignified life a future for their children palestinian refugees have been gathering outside

8:12 pm
ports simply because the e.u. stuck to our request to take the majority of the microbes it must be clear that all rain is to ensure that those who arrive in italy or redistributed to other european countries. that hasn't stopped salvini from criticizing. redistributions in europe are just words because i am still waiting for the other european countries to take a few 1000 of those they have already promised to take so this is a surrender obviously one of contest promises to europe was it he would return to being a refugee camp. back onboard the already planning where they might be sent germany has promised to take 25 percent of any refugees rescued in the mediterranean but the rest of the distribution is less clear the subject will certainly come up when e.u. interior ministers meet in malta on september the 23rd paul brennan al-jazeera good

guarantee the security of red cross stuff in the areas it controls and those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera the inside story from the. 2 weeks of protests in algeria show no signs of banding the backed government is refusing calls to before and you election and i think break the stalemate and is that boom for compromise this is inside story.
8:22 pm
welcome to the program. it's been more than 5 months since mass protests forced algeria's long serving president. to step down since then members of his former government have been resisting calls to wet as well. demonstrators have how 30 weeks of they want to flee across former minister ahmed to give power to civilians and to release detained opposition leader of the powerful military chief is standing firm how much guy of his people to support plans for a presidential election as soon as possible by the protesters want him and the ruling elite to go before and if. they have to ferry all those detained salah and his government prime minister nuri day in bed
8:23 pm
away everyone has to quit. if you want the protest movement to stop there's only one way and that is to yield to the algerian people this will be peaceful until the end it is the future of our children who will remain peaceful and. these politicians should be brought to justice and we should witness this the people will not stop until their demands are met has the elections it's up to the people to decide they want voice and they'll be no elections. and here's how the events unfolded in algeria tens of thousands of people took to the streets in february to deny their arses with a fair cause plans to seek a 5th presidential term. weeks of mass demonstrations eventually forced him to resign in april and he was replaced by interim president. but protesters say the real power lies with the army chief. the protesters then pressure the
8:24 pm
government to cancel presidential elections in july but the government of the military have been reluctant to offer further concessions general guy saleh is pushing for an early vote and wants the interim president to announce december date . let's bring in our guest here in the us. and professor of political science and international relations of qatar university in algiers on skype a kind of play of journalists at the middle east i also in algiers on the phone a research fellow at the school for advanced studies in the social sciences welcome to your use of why do protesters reject. push for elections to be held by the end of this year simply because the demands of the plotters have not been met yet obviously since the 22nd of february when the demonstrations started didn't
8:25 pm
want to clear the demands some of them have been for instance because of the kind of. left who was duly the president of the constitutional council but did most of us still asking for his government to go up till now but we are still the prime minister and. he will as to the full time be over to see the elections of jillian's i've been quoted in. full but we will go he was. minister of interior he managed to get 6 almost 6000000 signatures for the bid for the cause. 5th to the. people say they don't basically trust him they don't trust him because therefore he has to go therefore you have to go the list of also asked for an independent commission to supervise the elections for the time being
8:26 pm
the locals told us a few days ago that but we are using office number. the 2nd the 2nd thing is that the minister of justice. mr the multi. promised the commission with independent commission to the elections will be established shortly and it will be completely independent so to me this is a move at least to appease the moderation tell you the if there were elections take place it will be clean honest and transparent. the politics is about compromise the army chief. was hoping to see lashes take place in july protesters said no and i think the army caved in to those demands but now they are insisting there needs to be a constitutional way out of the crisis in syria other people saying at the same time no don't you think this is something that could lead to deep political crisis
8:27 pm
in algeria. yes and you are pointing to something very important which is the stubbornness not to start today we have a chief of staff who is the totally absurd are from this idea are for going to kill election no matter how it will be done and at the other side we have anger growing every friday because every day that passes the mistakes and things people are arrested and new laws new people are appointed that are upsetting. the people on the streets yes. there's a need for compromise but today we don't see anywhere from the chief of staff from the region to any contrition front than they could have been.
8:28 pm
successful to make people go back to their homes by releasing political prisoners out of freedom of expression prisoners prisoners so anyone can call them however they you want. he could have also 6 been very successful by. suggesting the removal of the prime minister appointing some non partisan. ministers or prime ministers and so on so does the world no confusion made by that in 6 months now and this is making the people more and more angry but it also. shows that this protest without leadership works because without this leadership the regime and the government of the chief of staff cannot
8:29 pm
apply any pressure on people who cannot. by. there's resilience shown in the movie a man if the army chief insists on taking the path of elections by december and the opposition or the praja marcus the movement is saying no we're not going to go their way what are the options left for algeria. well there are actually several options that i think we should not think of are we are the people has to one type of have enough negotiate to get over they have been fit program you have sheaves and for the best and that has been the kind of time of negotiation that's been going on between the han the all the generals and the people of the district and from the shit out these past 6 months has led to a situation that i'll just have never experienced before and which is the refusal of the people to play by the regions lose and that will be crucial to understand
8:30 pm
what kind of way out we can come to their homes they have refused to move to simply withdrew from fish avoid for life you know that before anjan was saying well we know that's not going to have shame elections we know that bullshit probably related to begin again and that's not the whole business we'll just with that now to say no we want accountability that's one of the cold demands we want both teams that are able to make days elections from parents and i come to the land that's not something that going to jump they also say before the wedding they be satisfied with the there is a traditional bill or ran scramble now to say no we want the property possible to become and that's also something very important they laugh but also quite indifferent algerian before as a victory 22 times a 2nd and more through patient so i think it's not a conflict between us and between the army the conflict between the human and do
8:31 pm
a position popular and now you know we are all confident about our kids of all the original immigrants how to guides about she's going to wind up if you can from a corporate occasion she said it's about the young on the point and front foot they have and launched that and that is. the rebirth of a nation that is going on up to only a matter of have elections all mouth and the most 2 ports about shamus i believe that will have a major. packed. that . we want to. make. use of because it is the most organized. itself of the very heart of this whole political debate now in algeria could it be that they are concerned that any way that is not within the constitution could drive as area to worse
8:32 pm
a an unchartered political territory or this is why they are rejecting the notion of a radical change without going to elections 1st of all obviously like you said the . the military is the most organized institution in the country it has always been the real power to hold the iraq julian let's not forget that the underling militarily of the algerian army was born before the before actually achieved its independence so and the military institution sees itself as the custodian of the nation i mean every single president of italy has been drawn from the middle east or had the military support. the gates son has always insisted that the solution should be we do in the constitution and we should not be seen to get out of the constitution but obviously the situation we're in at the moment is not necessarily constitutional gates wants something elections before the end of the
8:33 pm
deal this will obviously depend on luck and luck is refusing it for the last 13. weeks also i think the heloc has grown stronger that they know it's a very very important. ok jand that it should not very important opportunity that you'd not be missed if they miss it they will be they will go back to how they used to live for the likes duty and so it's very very. potent for the hillock to make sure. that the new system is established we talk about moving to a new republic or a 2nd republic whatever you want to call it but they know that if they miss this opportunity it will be a basic did the hope is lost i think but gates is making some compromise with the talk about gates and not as a person but as the institution it appears and so his he is making some.
