in you go to polling stations of the numbers of the election commission said that the voter turnout 2 hours ago was at 6.8 percent almost 7 percent expect that number to climb in the coming but there is a growing disillusionment. about the political establishment of this explains why betty people especially the young not willing to cast their votes they say that all the political parties that form coalitions in the past 9 years fail to honor the pledges they made in the past about economics. it's no longer about the debate to install a vibrant democracy and it is your people say that former dictator was. new political parties are in power the new institutions the prime minister is more

powerful than the parliament is more active and vibrant then the problem is the economy there is high unemployment there is high inflation the budget deficit is widening and the government cannot afford it cannot really bring about a balanced budget just to give you an idea about what's happening it is the. trade unions which are very powerful have always been pushing for salary increase the government cannot say no because that if the trade unions decide to go on a strike they cripple the country and therefore the international community the international monitor for fund for example which is negotiating a new installment of the to $3900000000.00 it extended into $1016.00 is coming to tunisia in 2 days from now and he's saying basically to the government you need to balance the budget we cannot afford to give you cash any time in the future and this explains why. a ferry concerned about the future question many thanks some

serious national but other live for us in tunis here's a closer look at what's at stake then in this election it follows the 1st round of last month's presidential vote that saw 2 outsiders making gains the main concern as you heard among most humans june is eons is the economy inflation is running at nearly 7 percent and unemployment is above 15 percent the national debt to g.d.p. ratio is above 70 percent of the i.m.f. says that in order to bring down that debt the government needs to slash spending but it's too noisy and say there aren't happy with what's already been caught. yes of sheriff is a political analyst and head of china's global centers he joins us now live from his capital via skype good to have you with us on whether you heard our correspondent there a few moments ago saying the turnout in this election looks as though it may be running at 10 percent what does that say about the legitimacy of it i mean to do now that would be low but we expect more people to vote and up to noon we still

have more or less 4 hours and the station is close and usually most leaders grew important afternoon is that it's sunday so most where i think that's nags of this morning they were seeds nipping but you want people bloody but it sticks but it would be in no they're not and this was the man i was very rattled by them and i you the many. are concerned with the economic situation and they feel that whoever they vote for it will not test things they fear that. coming parliament will be as maybe as little used to the republic economy as the previous parliament and of this government and therefore it's an issue when it comes to dismiss it because then we would see more and more of these sorts of movements that . erupts here and there in the now and then it. would be for the completely

refusing anything that comes from from the state and not trusting the state and the public is distance and so we're eating towards yet another cycle of. kind of no one ever crisis in the country but always in a peaceful manner which makes the specificity of. products that aren't so to what extent is this election about giving the established parties a bloody nose. i think that's the most important point to keep it. the results of radio business in the 1st round of the business the elections and probably the results of the day. we still have the. most you need people badly used all who one of them is doing well but all the other ones are collapsing or. becoming almost marginal and we see rise

of movements some of them that merely say young man but this is part of some snuggles the one of the these movements have as a slogan something that stays here as we're not a political party those you rejects then we can replace not political by the negative media and we see the rise of all these but they will be that number will be and it will be quite difficult form a government and we're going to see is that will form a government in the upcoming parliament with these small with smaller bregman and quite populist movements that will actually be very. good start just so many thanks indeed years of cherif there in tunis a 2nd whistle blow up and the impeachment inquiry against president donald trump has come forward according to a.b.c. news the person's lawyer told the network that his client had spoken to the inspector general of the intelligence community he or she is said to be an

intelligence official with firsthand knowledge of some of the allegations outlined in the 1st whistle blowers complaint the impeachment inquiry centers around accusations that trump used his office to pressure ukraine into investing investigating his political rival joe biden let's go live now to washington now to c.n.n.'s chaper tansy is that for us you have been talk of this the existence of this 2nd whistleblower for days now we know what's the latest. well doing it is all it's still a bit mysterious perhaps we have more questions even little questions not ever since friday we've had a new york times report saying that there was another whistleblower but we should be clear about what's being reported by b. c it's not that there's another whistleblower complaint an official complaint that's gone to the inspector general which will then have to be weighed by the inspector general and then go to the director of national intelligence and theoretically go to congress what we have all is one whistleblower and actually now

since that a.b.c. report we heard from other lawyers saying actually we represent others too who say that that whistle blows but we have people who corroborate what was in that 1st initial and only as far as we understand whistleblower complaint the initial whistleblower complaint was someone who said look there was this phone conversation with ukrainian president and it appeared to this member of the intelligence community a dull truck was improperly abusing the office of the presidency in order to solicit foreign interference in the 2020 alexion however the argument the pushback from the white house and the republicans is but this question didn't hear the phone call they received all this information through other sources now it appears that the other sources who told the the whistleblower about the phone call are coming forward and now being represented by lawyers but all the whistleblower complaints but corroboration of that initial whistle blower complaints this has been in the ether for a couple of days now donald trump even tweeted about it on saturday this is what he

tweeted yesterday the 1st so-called secondhand information whistleblower got by phone conversation almost completely wrong so now we're going to bench and they're going to the bench and another whistleblower is coming in from the deep state also with 2nd that info meet with shifty keep them coming shifty a reference to you at your future the head of the house intelligence committee so more corroboration for the 1st whistle blow account apparently undercutting the white house that this is all based on secondhand information should have been a thanks go to syria should have returned see their lives in washington. a protest is underway right now in paris against a change in the law allowing single and gay women to get fertility treatment final parliamentary approval is needed to end the restriction on in vitro fertilization treatment or i.v.'s only for women in a heterosexual relationship conservative and catholic groups in france say that medically assisted reproductive treatment deprives children of a natural father let's go live now to paris of

a serious natasha but can tell us more your with the protesters certain attention was happening. as were thousands of protesters have been making their way across parts of the french capital and back here to really force their opinion that they feel that the french government is making a mistake because he's proposed this law to try and open up i.v.s. access to women so that means gay women and single women would have access to this fertility treatment at the moment women can only have access to that treatment if they're in a head for sexual couples while these protesters are saying is that in a way it's part of what they regard as france's moral decline many of them are in the streets 6 years ago protesting against gay marriage they're worried about idea for women out there worried in the future that this could lead to some of the see being legalized and in terms of i v f they're saying what is doing is actually deployed being children of a father they say that

a traditional family unit must be made up of a mother and a father and to not do that in a way ignores children's rights have there been any counter protests the tasha supporters of the law they've been out on the streets. well we have seen some supporters in law out on the streets but generally it has to be said those who a support this law is saying that it's important as a step and a victory in a way for women's rights and for women's equality they are saying it doesn't matter whether or not a child has a father and a mother because of course many family units these days are made up of a mother and father they're all sorts of combinations what matters they say is the child is wanted and is loved and in fact we met one woman who had a child by i.v.'s she had to travel abroad outside of frogs because of course it is still illegal and she says that she would welcome a change in the law so that other women like over a single would be able to have access to that fertility treatment in france. when

she reached her mid thirty's benedict wanted to become a mother she was single and wanted to try i've yet fix set foot in france i v f is illegal for single gay women so benedict travel to denmark and portugal with the treatment is legally available to all women i fell out low in my own country because i just wanted a baby and that's right it was ok all the european countries but not in france benedick son is now 14 months old he doesn't have a father for say although that mother though and though the fact that he was wanted cases like benedix where she had to travel abroad for treatment may soon be a thing of the past in france the french government's proposed a new bioethics law that would give all women the right to i.d.f. treatment not just those in a heterosexual couple the new law would fulfill one over man or mark cross

presidential campaign promises but is very divisive its supporters say it would be a victory for equality but its opponents say it would do raise the role of the father and destroy the moral fabric of french society. in september french m.p.'s approved the new bill but only after a fiery debate or they repond the lead this is your dog and. how dare you decide to inscribe into law that a child be deprived of a father this shocks me yes i'm emotional you're playing with fire the new law also covers other controversial issues such as stem cell research and some conservative groups worry it could be expanded in the future. it's a slippery slope 1st you give old women the right to a child then it will be for all men and then we'll have legalized surrogacy senators are now examining the bill if it becomes law it will be a huge blow for those who say it erodes traditional family values but it will

create hope and possibility for single and gay women who dream of becoming a parent especially butler al-jazeera paris let's get a weather update now on the news are aware off the deserts of new mexico with meteorologist rob. yeah that's where we are and it's not a site you necessarily want to see if you've gone to albuquerque for example to see the annual balloon fiesta because this was rain that fell not have a labor of 15 minutes or so and in the course of the morning done these it falls into fog it lifted eventually but robin has a mass ascent which they usually does if you want to saturday morning this is the brilliance or disappeared into low cries it never happened that doesn't mean the weekends are right off that she's beautiful at the moment and they have a lovely time until the police have to go home because all the actions further east in the u.s. is using down that southwest corner the pressure is high starts to warm but it's been rather different for the rest the humid warm stuff that ended september

arabia step to announce that it will be giving $3000000000.00 in aid as well as donating fuel and wheat to try to sustain that to try to. curb the crisis the economic crisis in the country but the prime minister says that what is needed is economic development and not aid they're also expected to talk about sudan's participation in the war in yemen where sudan is contributing with more than $10000.00 soldiers fighting on the ground in yemen which people here in the country say they want an end to but which the prime minister says it's up to the upcoming elected government in 3 years to decide where the sudan should continue its participation in yemen or whether it should bring it to an end does this mean that . sudan has basically fall of the spell of saudi arabia the saudi arabia will have influence over the country in the future. yes indeed and that's something that not everybody in sudan is necessarily happy

about our people are already worried and the think that saudi arabia played a big role in basically urging the military to to attack protesters on june 3rd so there thing that they do want saudi arabian interference but we've also heard from the prime minister repeatedly saying that there is a strategic ally in this strategic ties between saudi arabia and sudan and that's something that he looks forward to developing and to make sure that the ties remain an economic levels and mutual interest between the 2 countries so you know the things that we expect to come out from the meetings between the 2 sides are sudan on saudi arabia economic relationship as well as the death participation in the were in yemen there were many thanks i was there as him or when that live in to people in kosovo a casting their ballots right now at a slap snap parliamentary poll it was called when prime minister. resigned in july after being summoned by kosovo's war crimes prosecutor he wants to last cut a deal about his role in the conflicts with serb forces 20 years ago polls suggest

president might be policy received not being among that group now when he believes he's pretty sesar that's former president mind that rajapaksa it was a complete we've where he sort of swept that election saying that he was only in for one term to bring change however his tenure has been fraught with disappointment for sri lankan voters and despite in recent months trying desperately to mount a reelection bid to try and garner support for that relax in bed president citizen there has been forced to admit that he's not going to make it and today's sort of final list that we see posting bonds and getting ready to contest that presidential race not including president city sailor he's not had a very sort of an uneventful term let's say the latest being last october when he

tried to stage what many people felt was a constitutional call by sacking his prime minister appointing his former rival as the replacement and being struck down by the supreme court of this country as saying what he had done was unconstitutional the sort of reasons for public discontent with the city say the rule has continued just here in a prove we did see those tragic sort of easter bombings the fact that it was sort of a tragedy of huge number of errors that led to that spate of bomb attacks claiming so many lives was not something that people are willing to forget so this is present in the sinner's way obviously of realizing and then meeting that he's not making going to make it so he's just going to stop with that 1st presidential bid. north korea says that it won't hold talks with the united states unless

washington ends its hostile policies the remarks come a day after pyongyang broke off a meeting with the u.s. on denuclearization the 2 sides met in sweden for the 1st time since febreze failed summit in vietnam north korea accused the u.s. of bringing nothing to the table the aim was for washington to lift sanctions in exchange for pyongyang limiting its nuclear weapons technology robert kelly is a professor at person national university he says that donald trump needs to present some new ideas for north korea to consider giving up its weapons. nuclear weapons are really valuable for country like north korea right it's small it's isolated it's unloved and so if you're north korea right we surrounded by enemies nuclear weapons are great and so they're going to give them up reve and some of the maybe 25 percent arsenal or someone like that might be possible then the american then have to make some pretty serious counter concessions and more than just sanctions to the north koreans rode out the sanctions to get these things on the north koreans going to want aid they're going on a peace treaty they're probably going want to huge pile of cash they might want to

access to international institutions like the i.m.f. and the world bank and there's not really been a whole lot of discussion least publicly on the american side of what that package of concessions might be you know if you look at the op ed pages of the big american newspapers you don't see people out there from think tanks floating ideas about what we might give the north koreans and this and that and so i still kind of feel like the americans are approaching these things that are really offering a comprehensive sort of like new package and that's exactly what the north koreans actually came out and said on the american side there needs to be a policy process in which the whole series of different possible concessions are debated and there's some actual consensus behind it and this is something that donald trump himself has got to lead because then there's a lot of dispute inside the american government about whether or not we should even be doing this you know chum is kind of alone on this congress isn't really keen on this u.s. military isn't so keen on this strong has actually got to lead an effort in which he says here are the 3 or 4 things going to the north koreans in exchange for a bunch of missiles and warheads and the president just hasn't led this i think enough and so i'm not sure there's enough coherence on the american side to set for like a full menu or full package beyond just sanctions the recent death of a 19 year old palestinian woman and suspicious circumstances has raised concerns

about domestic violence in the occupied territories protests have been held against what activists say is a cultural acceptance of attacks against women al-jazeera and abraham reports. by stitch sima tries to start a different life after escaping her abusive husband and returning to her father's home she says her family looked to another room and to watch a tear they didn't want to divorce though to. so she set the room on fire i thought to myself if people see the fire and smoke the fire department will come to my rescue i felt like i was dying anyways but luckily i wasn't harmed by the fire after that the police entered to a safe house but many victims of domestic abuse are far from being safe and theory we have a good system that protects women the problem is with implementation and culture some professionals don't have the knowledge required to identify victims of abuse

and they don't have the awareness to approach them with him to to take. activists believe the system has already failed including 19 year old disrupter you her family members are accused of beating her to death sparking approved locally and international. protesters say there is tolerance of violence against women that makes reporting abuse much more difficult since the beginning of the year human rights organizations say 19 women have died in suspicious circumstances through the sometimes these are calling upon the palestinian are to end up with and in the draft law that has been at work here is to provide no protection that. the palestinian government responded to public pressure with a promise to adopt the mosque the current being a law dates back to the 1960 s. and is criticized of being too lenient especially when it comes to perpetrators of violence against women the palestinian president has previously introduced some

the u.s. china trade war u.s. retailers are placing more orders with bangladesh to offset increasing tariffs on chinese goods because of the fact that there is not a trade war. because of the present age they're looking at this region and bangladesh is certainly one of the beneficiaries of those orders coming in. to avoid the effects of the trade war chinese factories are relocating to elsewhere in asia bangladesh is low wage gives it a competitive edge in this labor intensive industry bangladesh has the most sustainable supply chain currently and we are the most compliant therefore there is no reason for bangladesh not to gain from this from this opportunity but we would need the help because consistently bangladesh has suffered a decline in prices so we seek the corporation and empathy of the rest of the world

apart all export has boomed in recent years but workers are not satisfied with the new minimum wage set by the government last year president trade war with china is turning out to be a blessing for bangladesh's garment industry which has benefited from a rise in demand for its good but on a recent study 91 percent of the workers say their income is not enough to feed themselves and their families there has been criticism from the workers union and n.g.o.s that the rise in export benefit only the factory owners and international buyers not the workers gloppy part of being a garment worker lives with their family in a small one room quarter she struggles with her monthly expenses without her husband's income.
