al-jazeera. every. al-jazeera. and welcome to the news hour i'm fully back to go at our world headquarters in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes iran's leaders stand by their decision to increase fuel prices and rationing despite a furious response. let me come back and finish my term but libya's former president makes an appeal from exile as more die in the chaos following his resignation. a car bomb kills at least 19 people in a northern syrian town controlled by turkey backed fight is blasts.

the violence mars otherwise peaceful protests marking 8 years since the birth of france's yellow vests me. thank you very much for joining as he runs leaders say they won't back down from their decision to increase your prices despite protests across the country one person has been killed and several others injured as they tried to enter an oil refinery in the southern city of syria john dosage a barrier reports from the capital tehran. anger frustration and growing concern in tehran as people protested against a 200 percent increase in fuel prices. many simply turned off their engines on major highways across the city to show their disappointment at this sudden decision to raise petrol prices overnight. as heavy snow blanketed the capital people still

lined up at the gas stations to fill up. the quota for remarriage sorry this is not a wise decision considering our horrible economy and sanctions we are under it's a cruel decision because it won't affect the wealthy people only the poor people will pay the price. this will 100 percent impact everything else it's not just about the press of gas or commodities will be impacted. those shoes this will only hurt low income families they were supposed to increase subsidies 1st then raise the price of fuel they will find another excuse to cut their subsidies later. the protests have not been limited to the capital this was the scene in the southern city of abidjan enclose a sun province overnight here state t.v. announced a number of individuals it described as unknown elements fired into crowds of people injuring some. the shock of this news has yet to sink in here with the new

prices motorists now pay about $0.13 a liter that's a 3 fold increase the government expects to earn nearly $2500000000.00 from the price increase and says that it will help millions of families in need had that sort of out of the 1st payments will be handled within the next week or $10.00 days and transferred to the families in model year a strong president believes that if there is going to be petrol price reform all of the new revenues will be paid back in full to the people. that many people here fear that this decision could have far reaching consequences it stems from a number of issues while iran has huge energy reserves its refining capability is limited and that makes it difficult to get fuel to the pumps. the government is also fighting fuel smuggling to neighboring countries that's because iran has some of the cheapest prices in the world due to its heavy subsidies and a weak currency the economy here has been struggling for years but since the united

states withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal last year and reimpose a series of new sanctions on iran things have been getting much worse inflation is just over 40 percent with unemployment rates at over 14 percent officials here say that this fuel price increase will help people but it's proving very difficult to convince ordinary iranians door so to pary al-jazeera tower on. our merit is an independent analyst covering iran and previously worked as the tehran correspondent for the economist he says a fuel hike has been planned for some time and the government had little choice but to go ahead with it. the government is under extreme pressure because of the. sanctions placed on any company wishing to trade with iran so there's a revenue problem for the government and the government expends a lot of money subsidizing some of the cheapest fuel in the world there's also the issue of corruption because iran's fuel is so cheap tickets smuggled out of iran by

by extremely sophisticated unorganized actors by enormous amounts to turkey and iraq so it's an anti corruption push and it is fundamentally a pro poor policy however any fuel hike as we have seen in many other parts of the world especially in a situation where the middle class has been in this aerated and poverty has hasn't been higher on for a long time directly as a consequence of the maximum pressure policy by the u.s. administration is going to cause people to be unhappy particularly people who used to work middle class jobs and now have to drive taxis around terran and they require a lot of fuel to get around it seems like a double blow in other world news united nations is warning violence in bolivia could spin out of control and prevent new elections on friday 8 supporters of deposed president evo morales where shot dead during fighting with security forces

rallies fled to mexico after resigning last week following week 7 raised opponents accused him of rigging october's elections to stay in power whatever murali says spoken to our correspondent john homan in mexico city who joins us now live on the news hour so what did he have to say what's his message. yes few hours ago we sat down with now ex president ever more as i think one of his key messages fully was he was saying that he wants to go back that he's planning to go back perhaps surprising considering the fact that he feels that only by fleeing to mexico did he save his life he claims that the armed forces in particular and security forces were were after him but he said that he's already searching for the legal framework to go back to bolivia basically said that right now at the moment he feels almost like he's in a prison being in asylum because he's used to leading his use to. things and at the

moment there's not a lot that he can do now he's also said and he told us that if there are fresh elections that if that's not wanted then he won't seek to run in them and that's a real bone of contention between himself and the opposition he was obviously running for a 4th term in the elections that libya had now a month ago that really kicked all of this off and that was something that the opposition was saying well that's unconstitutional so he has given way on that but he said to us they should at least let me see out my term is about 2 months left running on that that's something that seems very improbable given that the interim president of bolivia at the moment janine and yes has said that if he goes back into the country then he might face charges so obviously from president run his point of view i did ask you would you think about that the you might not be able to go back because of the the charges and he said i'm the criminal and i've got nothing to to worry about so that's his message right and the interim government in

bolivia john has accused him also of stoking unrest from the far when he have to say about that. you know we did ask you about something that you mentioned when we started this theme about the 8 dead that happened in friday we at the hands of security forces possibly in bolivia and he said well this is this is terrible in the 6th tension of what he sees as a military coup he was asked to stand down publicly by the military on the other hand of course the opposition would say that there were serious regularities at the organization of american states that they found in their preliminary report and the president ex-president now morale is change the constitution to be able to run again despite a referendum that said that where people were rejected that when they said that he shouldn't be able to do that so long path leading towards the and towards this and leading to the crisis the bolivia's currently going through but for president we're

all is he is clearly the focus of the interim government the excessive force perhaps that's being used on the streets i think something interesting here i was in believe you're in a team were in bolivia with the elections and in the week or so after the elections when the shoe was on the other foot so to speak president ex-president rallies was then in charge of the police there was quite an excessive use of tear gas used against pretty protesters they definitely won't let them get anywhere near government buildings but what was interesting there was that there wasn't one death and that actually surprised us at the time so it's interesting now that the bill is on the other foot that the opposition forces are in charge of the security forces and in particular jimmy 9 years the interim president that there have now been 8 deaths and the u.n. report obviously that you mentioned saying this is in danger of spiraling out of control i thank you very much for that john heilemann live for us in mexico city meanwhile venezuela's opposition leader is using the situation in bolivia to make

been no claim of responsibility from any group turkey and its syrian rebel allies have mounted 3 separate offensives in northern syria against kurdish militia what we will see is more of these incidents. as the confusion over who controls walt who is responsible for what and who is saying was becomes more increased over time. the injured are being treated in hospital civil defense workers say they're trying to identify the bodies of those killed. victoria gay to be al-jazeera. there's been violence in paris. on the 1st anniversary of the yellow vests protest movement but he. water cannon and hundreds of demonstrators after they built barricades and set fire to cars and rubbish bins the movement began over rising fuel prices and the high cost of living and quickly grew into

a wider revolt against president. it was meant to have been a moment for the yellow vests movement to shine again after a dramatic drop in support at weekly rallies where the movement's 1st anniversary brought a violent fringe on to the streets of paris with protesters building barricades against police. after firing tear gas at as they started to target the crowd directly at a car is to hit me in the head we are strong and determined even though this isn't really representative of the whole movement across the country this is the side of the yellow vest protesters alienated much of from this movement it's trying to achieve these people hard core group of individuals who are themselves members of yellow dress prevent were clearly bent on vandalism. but it didn't start like this it began as a leaderless revolt against the rising cost of living and a plan tax on diesel an attempt by president to manual mccrum to reduce carbon

emissions it morphed into a movement against mccrone himself drawing many tens of thousands of people from the far right far left and everything in between microbus forced to scrap the green tax and do more to help the poor but the yellow vests confused identity has led to its slow decline it has failed to transform into a political movement it has. been unorganized it has destroyed every spokesperson that has emerged and it has failed to go into elections so on one side it's it has a huge impact on the political landscape and on the other side is for. micron has dampened tensions by holding town hall debate up and down the country half a 1000000 people have taken to allowing him to win back some support in opinion polls but activists have accused the government of excessive force against demonstrators

first large fires have been burning around a hong kong university after protests as herald petrol bombs towards police security forces fired tear gas back at demonstrators in some of the most dramatic scenes of the last 5 months of protests in the city china has also confirmed it sent me into the streets on friday to help clean up debris near one of the universities on kong's government says he didn't ask for any assistance mcbride has more from how. it was a very quick operation lasted less than an hour and the soldiers didn't have to travel far this is their base here the sentries are standing just off to my right here and basically they came out there they didn't travel very far they came up this this road here moving bricks as they went and turned the corner at the top of a long lead perimeter up there and they were back inside inside the camp or they

won't wear uniforms they were in their sports kit so they could be looked at is quite symbolic depending on your politics and as we know there is a lot of politics here on the one hand it could be seen as a fairly innocuous gesture this is just a public spirited action by the local garrison coming out as you mentioned there it's not the 1st time that troops have been deployed they came out a year ago to help clean up in country parts after thai food so that has happened before but then this is not the country parts where in the urban area the middle of cow loon and over all the. site is one of the university campuses where we've seen protest and i have been angry standoff between students from this campus and soldiers inside here who they were show pointing lasers at having said that we have not seen any angry responses from protesters at the removal of their bricks in fact of anything they've been really played it cool they've kept a very low profile there's been some chatter on social media saying no it doesn't

really matter we'll just replace the bricks when we are good and ready but there will be others in the pan democratic count who will see this you know as a further gesture as a further symbol of more erosion of hong kong's autonomy and the autonomy it's meant to have within china u.s. impeachment investigators have questioned a white house official directly connected to president donald trump's decision to block military aid to ukraine mark sandys a 1st person from the office of management and budget to speak at the inquiry trams fresh on ukraine is at the heart of the democrat led probe the president is accused of using the aid as a bargaining chip to encourage its government to investigate tom's political rival joe biden shepparton see as more from washington. as with the formerly private depositions that have been released publicly we're not expecting any new bombshells in the impeachment inquiry as a result of these 2 releases but we are expecting more color and detail we do

broadly know what both these advisers said to morrison the national security council's top advisor on russia and europe said that he was told there was a quid pro quo that the aid the military aid to ukraine wouldn't be released until there was an investigation in to the bidens he also said that he had did have some concerns about the july 25th call between donald trump and the ukrainian president not because he thought anything was wrong with the call or anything illegal was going on but just because he thought that if it if it did leak out it may cause problems for the administration which of course it has of course problems but actually when he testified at the end of last month the white house and republicans were pretty happy because he said he didn't think anything was necessarily wrong with what president drum was asking on that july 25th cool. jennifer williams is concerned the special advisor to mike pence on russia and europe she said she did think of that july 25th call was inappropriate because it was so political she was

another person who had listened in on it and she also said that as far as she was concerned mike pence the vice president and never discussed and the investigations into the biden's effectively also answer a question we've often had is what was mike pence doing in all of this as well as she was concerned mike pence didn't mention to her anyway and he politically motivated investigations into the biden's. a shaky cease fire in iran gaza has been tested after 2 rockets were fired towards a town in israel israeli warplanes responded by striking her mass targets 34 people died earlier this week in the west cross border fighting in months harry fawcett reports. israel's assassination of the senior islamic jihad commander but. led to a fierce round of escalation and more than 33rd the deaths inside gaza. it's also revealed and made worse the frictions between hamas which governs the gaza strip and islamic jihad which through his rocket crews had been the trigger for repeated

escalations in recent months. has been pursuing a negotiated truce with israel it chose to stand back after the assassination well as army jihad fired hundreds of rockets and was in turn targeted by israeli airstrikes 'd a senior hamas figure tells me the differences are well on the way to being resolved but that hamas had no interest in going to war you talk about being dragged towards a bigger conflict by whom by islamic jihad by their actions by by i know i'm talking about no i think that it is not either said to take a decision to or to enter a war with israel so it's not easy i think we have to have calculations about the pros about going to school as is about the results and the tactics how different our civil people how not to put more there than our people i think we have to put all these calculations in the chair but it is not easy i think it's not a lot for any policy of virtue to get this in a lot say ok i want to fire missiles. but in the aftermath of heavy israeli

airstrikes one of which killed 8 civilians including 5 children there have been calls across gaza for hamas to do just that in the early hours of saturday morning 2 rockets were fired at the israeli town of a shaver intercepted by the anti missile iron dome system a few hours later israeli warplanes. struck hamas sites here in gaza a sign bob said hamas is good she wing had responded to public pressure. there's been several protests since thursday ceasefire and then a sign of the continuing tension a senior hamas figure was even barred from paying his respects at a ball arthurs morning tent is going to go out this very angry that hamas did not join the fight against israel and with the shooting that the 48 hour israeli escalation. it seems to me that we might even see further affliction until the complicated relationship in the future. israel said it killed

in order to stop the rocket attacks he directed perhaps also hoping it would inhance hamas is control over gaza's weaponry the question now is whether his death has removed an obstacle dividing garza's 2 biggest factions or whether the events of the last few days have done yet deeper damage to their relationship ari forsett gaza britain's friends andrew has spoken publicly about his relationship with the nate sex offender geoffrey epstein the duke of york admitted to letting down their way of family by staying at. home after he was convicted some critics say the interview could backfire as catherine stansell reports of time an unprecedented interview with a senior member of the british royal family and his connections with the convicted sex offender prince andrew spoke to u.k. media about american billionaire geoffrey epstein you were staying at the house and convicted sex offender at the end of the day. with the benefit of all the hindsight

that one could have. it was definitely the wrong thing to do. but at the time i felt it was the papers the right thing to do and i kick myself for the day. because it was not something that was becoming a member. american billionaire jeffrey epstein hung himself in his jail cell in august while awaiting trial he was accused of sexually exploiting and abusing dozens of underage girls in 2008 epstein was convicted of soliciting sex from underage girls despite this prince andrew remained friends with epstein he went before the cameras to try to rescue his reputation but royal watchers believe his interview may make matters worse that's that's i think that this interview will be a trainwreck i think that it will have the effect of putting far more pressure than his already experienced arm prince andrew while aided to

visit a convicted sex offender why did he find it convenient to stay with him and why on earth should the queen's 2nd some think that this was all on rable way to behave which it wouldn't be for any human being virginia roberts giuffre says she was one of jeffrey epstein's under-age victims and she says she was forced to have sex with prince andrew 3 times she says she met him in 2001 she says she dined with danced with a trunk nightclub in london she went on to have sex with you in a house in belgrade via a longing to go and knocks on your friend your response i have no recollection of ever slowed. so i don't remember meeting her this is prince andrew with the woman he says he can't remember meeting his lack of

recollection is a departure from the denials issued in the past from the investigations that we've done you can't prove whether or not that photograph is faked or not because it is a photograph of a photograph of a photograph so it's very difficult to be able to to to to prove it but. i don't remember ever being told from buckingham palace has always denied the allegations against prince andrew calling them false and without foundation this was a very carefully orchestrated interview that took place here and it was sanctioned by the queen herself this is the 1st time prince andrew has spoken so directly about his relationship with epstein but the way he handled the interview may well lead to more questions than answers catherine stansell al-jazeera london well christopher wilson is a royal biographer he says that the epstein saga has damaged the monarchy. i think the most important point is that prince andrew said the queen has not been damaged

by what has been said this evening and i think he's entirely wrong in that i think that he has dragged his mother a woman who's been on the throne for 67 years considered by all royal families around the whole world to be the exemplar the best example of how our monarchs should behave and he's dragged his mother into this very personal problem which he's got and which won't go away as a damage limitation exercise on his part i mean he these accusations have been around for nearly 10 years why is he now deciding that he is actually wants to speak publicly about an event which he's managed to dodge for all that time i think the answer to that has to be that there is something that we don't yet know but it's coming down the turnpike quite soon i think we're going to see there are

developments in the whole jeffrey epstein story you have to remember that the f.b.i. want to speak to prince andrew and so do the french authorities because i've seen not mentioned in that film but you know also had an apartment in paris which prince andrew visited and the french authorities want to know what went on there and it may well be that something is happening in that direction which has forced him out and made him come to the table and give this very in my view embarrassing interview . so ahead on this al-jazeera news hour lebanon's power struggle the lack of electricity that's just one of protesters grievances also. we will leave the e.u. on 29 march to. another rexy battleground how rival parties are using online means to get their election messages across and football fever made it to the streets of miami for this annual competition more with peter and it's just

spoken about the conduct of the election today the 1st place. the 1st. thing. the. we. see years. and counting all of the votes is going on right throughout the night this process ease being duplicated in counting centers in every single district obviously security as you can see around me is very tight to ensure the security of the ballot now what we've heard in terms of voter turnout we've heard that there has been around 80 percent the main question is going to be which of the frontrunners go tubby rajapaksa the former defense secretary or sergeant prim of the us of the minister of housing which of them secures more than 50 percent of the vote if they are not able to do that the count goes into a 2nd round where preferential votes will be counted that becomes

a little bit more complicated but sri lankans throughout the country are waiting to find out the results of those processes and bernard smith is also in colombo with more the frontrunners with more on the frontrunners to become shankar's next president. got to pile rajapaksa nose to the buddhist priest but he could rely on support from voters within sri lanka's majority think. but he also needs support from minority muslims and tamils too if he's to win this presidential election many of them are nervous of the prospect of a return to power of the rajapaksa. got a pie was defense chief and his brother mahinda was president at the end of the civil war which the u.n. estimates killed 40000 people that party also courts nationalists is a big blue lanka get in with. the. staff in sri lanka center for monitoring election violence say the poll has been free but not necessarily

fair with reports of people being pressured on how to vote we have never seen that much influential factors like leaders leaders that are coming forward from or one particular political party. such as prima das is the only other realistic contender in this election he gets support from rural buddhists and minority groups who could swing the result in his favor. the ruling coalition is choice but this is a government that ignored warnings about the easter sunday suicide attacks that killed 263 people prompting rajapaksa to announce his candidacy we are hoping for a new future 3 lanka and. there are a candidate and the same there are many candidates so it's going to be a very competitive place so i just hope there. you know whoever gets elected can deliver on their promises and ensure a safe nation and

a prosperous nation and everyone can sort of believe in peace 60000000 people were eligible to vote they had 35 candidates to choose from. the run up to sri lanka's last presidential election was marred by violence and widespread intimidation this time it's been more peaceful it is though a tight race where passions are running high earner to make out is there a colomba. protests in the west african nation of guinea have led to at least 20 deaths since last month and see a proposed constitutional amendments will allow president to run for a 3rd tan mom involved reports. the family of abdullah is devastated they say he was shot the government protest in the name capital conakry on fears that his wife was left to bring up the 3 month old baby on her own she says she tried to prevent him from going out to join the protest. i am looking for the one
