prompted jordan's king abdullah to give the green light for the arrest of more than a dozen people including best of my wife a former head of the royal court and finance minister he then became part of the inner circle of prince hamza bin has seen to have bred of the king who was also crown prince until he was removed from the role in 2004 jordan's deputy prime minister a minute 70 said that beyond a doubt the inner circle of prince hamza were coordinating with foreign parties and opposition abroad a plot to destabilize the country with. the state intelligence with already has been closely monitoring activity from his highness hamza surely for some desired by some of the lower and others whose movements were aimed at undermining our stability and security the surveillance intercepted movements including communication with foreign sides on a so-called 0 hour to trigger measures aimed at undermining else to belittle

shortly after the arrests prince hamza appeared in a video saying he had been put under house arrest for bidden from communicating with the outside world i claim later denied by jordan chief of staff the prince also took the unprecedented move of publicly criticizing the leadership of the country i am not the person responsible for the breakdown in governance for the corruption and for the incompetence that has been prevalent in. our governing structure for the last 15 to 20 years and has been getting worse by the year and i'm not responsible for the lack of faith that people have in their institutions. their response the former crown prince had been sidelined since his removal from power but he is said to have been forging ties with this gruntal tribesmen and the loosely organized opposition known as head a that has been calling for mass protests so far the government hasn't revealed the

scope of the alleged plot but some say it's unlikely it was aimed at directly overthrowing king abdullah you can't have a coup or lesser security people involved so i don't think and you know this whole idea of a plot there is just not true there is clearly. an internal issue that's come out in the public and i think in a way it has turned out not in the favor of some of the people who began this process of arrests it's not clear what will happen to the former crown prince king abdullah said to favor an amicable solution for the sake of the royal family and the stability of the country there are still many questions that remain and answers the government says it will reveal all details in due course but if anything recent events reveal deep divisions within the royal family of a country considered a beacon of stability within a turbulent middle east but at that hamid al-jazeera well prince hamza law that

queen no has defended her son saying the truth and justice must prevail and the head of the senate says the accusation is a malicious prata to undermine the king nadar moonshiner the one about we reiterate our confidence and pride no royal monarch the king we are all behind ok standing firmly against any malicious traitorous hand or king is a red line so i was ok. when i asked by to watch the mom mom claim he had an economist he says that's high price stability and the country despite the many challenges. i believe that you know people are exaggerating about what's what's what's going on i believe. that today an economy has many challenges in the past few decades concerning you know the financial crisis concerning the gulf problems given that the oil prices are getting down on this effect that. that the crease and and the gulf aid and the high employment rate and many many challenges also also

the syrian refugees i believe these these these challenges also affected that going to growth and also i think that then climate rate the budget deficit such as that because jordan has to come back at peace these challenges and this increased its debt and increased also the budget deficit i believe we have to wait until we end this occasion for them to gratian of. the police is finalized to see the truth even when we have a geopolitical issue as i don't want them but jordan would be stable and i believe king is doing his best to do that and you know what happened yesterday is. providing a good stance that the king is trying to make toward a more stable than that and he's trying to overcome all of these challenges that we are facing and you do they get corruption the bad book i see in jordan i think the

government also trying to do some competitive do it to attract investment from jordan outside jordan so that peace so that it can be good or that it's that jordan is facing right now. now moving on and exit polls and dog areas suggest the prime minister's center right party is predicted to win the election that this could make it a 4th term in power for a boy from virus of this development comes to months of anti-government protests and also amid a surge in coronavirus cases abandoned smith joins us now from the capital sofia where he's been watching the voting bernard god may have won the election with the most votes but they haven't won control right talk us through what to expect in the days ahead. yeah looks like gerberas got about 25 or so percent of the vote not near enough to give them a majority or really. enough seats to control parliament so they'll need to be coalition talks now want some press and what is unprecedented though is the arrival

of this anti establishment party there is such a people party it's called it came out of the protests emerged out of the protests last summer challenging the what they call the establishment parties that's the center right ruling party and the socialists both of lost votes to the challenge for borisov if you want to remain prime minister is how to build a coalition when this anti establishment party says it's not going to stand and share power with any of the mainstream parties so that could this could set up a period of prolonged instability for bulgaria as they try and find some way of forming a functioning government and that means that bulgaria will have a might have difficulty in spending an allocated a record $59000000000.00 in e.u. funding that is set to come bulgaria's way that's more funding more you cash

bulgaria's ever hard and it's 14 years of membership very important how that money is allocated to where it's allocated because of course this is considered the most corrupt country in the european union according to transparency international so a lot of eyes on how the government will be formed and how it will manage the expenditure of this e.u. money and it's met there with all the latest for us from the barbarian capital severe thanks so much bernard well let's dig into some of their survey vessel never sees a program director at the european council on foreign relations in sofia and she joins us now from there and that's our pick up on what time of bernard was saying in a minute but i want to start with the actual voting today what did you make of the turnout. it was actually as expected that around 50 percent. voting lists also take into account all the bulgarians who may want to vote including those who live abroad and they say they're around 2000000 this is why you

know the number is so not what they look like but. in general i think a lot of people going out to go even though. it is still warmer right here. and a lot of people especially in the big cities young people care about to vote which is why the members for the so called citizens party things are actually quite high and i would highlight here also the democratic party which is another one emerged from the protests which is an. i would say centrist party well given those numbers for those parties it doesn't look like it's going to get fairly messy now how long do you think it's actually going to take to work this out in parliament. look it's clear that british who will have great difficulties

forming a 4th government. get which means that most probably we will see a prolonged debate in parliament of the constitution oh they're glad for this is 3 months after the elections. i hope this is going to go faster than that but i assume it will it means take until the early summer before we have a working coalition here and it may very well be and they get one it looks like now well speaking of that sentiment bar assad himself seems to have avoided most of the mainstream media since all of those protests over the senate taking to social media and stead i'm curious what do people then now think of him. a lot of people still believe that in times of crises we should not make big steps which should not embark on big changes and this is why some 25 percent have voted for pretty self

yet the the same time there is a majority of people real that. 3 governments have been really enough and that burglary needs to move beyond that but given democracy needs some renewal and that this combination of state and business interests being too close of the each other. this has to really stop and so i think this is the prevailing sentiment that i would the markets in need some sort of a change or as bennett was mentioning he mentioned there could be some fairly serious consequences for the country especially when it comes to accessing easy funds to help recover from the pandemic and you concerned about that. of course so yeah it is about the recovery firms it's about the green deal national plan that still needs to be worked out but i think it dnd of the day work is more important

is that bulgaria makes a step further in reforming itself in being a more active you member state and having us a government which is competent to make all of this happen including. to take advantage of the recovery fund muddling through is not going to be enough in times of crisis and i think this is what programs have been the. reading want a more ambitious given government. let's see if we will get one but i really think that there is a long. road that we would embark in while now the great. away from this is the image of you know a corrupt place there is a lot of potential in this country and it want it be special needs to be realize of a very interesting few weeks and potentially months ahead their vessel never from european council on foreign relations speaking to us from severe thanks so much for

joining us better if you how moving on and heavy rains have triggered flash floods and landslides in indonesia's east flora's and neighboring east timor rescue workers say they may not even be able to reach remote areas until tomorrow and there's also a warning of even more extreme weather and terentia rain just to washington reports . morris' in tunisia flash flooding and landslides have killed dozens of people in at least 7 villages and the death toll is expected to rise many families say their loved ones are still missing. as the scale of the disaster unfolds communities are in mourning. this man's body was pulled from the debris people in the video say he was a teacher. thousands of houses are likely to have been buried under mud after the landslides at least 5 bridges were destroyed and most roads blocked hampering access for search and rescue workers or. we need to work on giving the logistics

despite weeks of increased violence there by the military and mandalay one group gathered at dawn on motorbikes calling for a return to democracy more than 550 people have now been killed since the military seized power on february 1st. and in yangon demonstrators carried painted eggs with anti military slogans as a symbol of defiance and opposition to the crew one group marched through a district chanting and singing protest songs and many of those eggs as you can see also had a drawing of that 3 fingered salute which has become a symbol of resistance. to the pandemic now and increased restrictions including a complete lockdown on weekends is set to take effect in india's a wealthy a state from monday that's off to a surge in new coven 1000 infections driven by cases in maharashtra india's health ministry reported more than 93000 new infections just in the past 24 hours more

than 60 percent of those are from maharashtra which is also home to the financial capital mumbai well earlier i spoke to dr rajiv dust group he's the chairperson at the center of social medicine and community health and narrow university he says existing measures have not been enough to help curb the spread of the virus. the principle e 2 or 3 reasons that we need to understand one of course is the opening up of the economy including educational institutions in some states and an increasing number of infections in young adults adolescents and students who act very fast as amplifiers 2nd of course is a very large scale of even support of social even religious congregations political events and so on and finally what's not really given much emphasis now but could be a lot more important than we think at present is the emergence of the variance of

concerns or the new forms of the new mood and forms of the virus including the u.k. strain. in the in the state of india for example which is also one of the very highly affected once the uka strain is being identified for the last couple of weeks and the rise in india in february coincides well with the rapid global spread of the u.k. strain between december and january limited lock downs. are simply not enough to stem the tide and therefore restrictions such as night curfews all or banning in train malls and so on me actually have limited effect and not really such an impressive effect the the the the key to controlling it are the time tested measures of this track treated cetera which are indeed coming under some challenges now but to go live with the entire health services. resuming all its activities and

review of cattle he says youth groups keep governments in check and try to ensure that they live up to their commitments. i think there is a great way to have momentum having the whole of the gulf and middle east countries and the right way how. is looking after the upcoming compton effects to have all the countries in the mena regions come up into and hand made a commitment and it will be a crucial part and they want to see what are the commitment each country will be making in terms of admission and also like how john kerry was mentioning we just don't have to shut down but how to mobilize and get more support and more jobs created and to how the transition towards non radio resources can be kept alive and bringing more green based jobs in the middle east to be a dog an addition here closely work with the community and also with the government to see how their commitments are in line with the paris agreement the most of the time what we do is to build up

a community based initiative that not only provide an understanding of what is happening and also the same time working with the government with some of the initiatives that help them to build a capacity and also build a partnership that is very much necessary in terms of moving towards and keeping up their promises as the palis agreement signatory countries. perkins' are heading to the polls next week to version a general election now with the country in the midst of its worst health crisis in decades and after a year of political upheaval many provisions are not interested or at a sanchez reports now from the capital. those worried about getting this oxygen tank filled for her mother and sister who are ill or tome with covert 19 days before polls open in this her family is facing the raging pandemic alone and the elections are not all that important now on the phone with the candidates aren't doing anything for us they don't stick to their promises

it's only words unfortunate it's a great disappointment over blank because they are all the same recent opinion polls say nearly 30 percent of peruvians may vote blank or not because they can't find anyone who represents them many peruvians are worried about some candidates on the ballot of the 18 presidential candidates the front runner is a former congressman who was once suspended for sexual harassment. another a respected economist relies on advice from a comedian. and there's a religious ultra conservative businessman who almost the treasury millions and openly insult anyone he dislikes on the campaign trail none of the presidential candidates have more than a 13 percent approval rating analysts say the elections couldn't be held at a worse time. it's as if the titanic was going down and someone said let's choose a new captain but everyone's looking for a life but the political scene is so weak i'm limited that there's no large group

of voters who perceives any of the candidates as a good option. the last presidential term was rocked by political instability with 3 presidents unseated during that period a congress to solve a congressional coupe and violent protests and the interim leader was finally sworn in last november. after 5 years of political upheaval the impact of the pandemic has pushed deeper into political and economic ails and many believe the elections will not guarantee political stability. with 18 candidates and 20 political parties competing the next congress will likely be fragmented. the elections will be useless. nothing is solved there are no vaccines i'm frustrated not knowing when this crisis will stop there are no jobs it's sad so many people we love are dying and we have no support it's very sad. with a vote so divided there will be

a ballot and that could be that the next president could be a lame duck from day one. still ahead here here on al-jazeera and sports the future of run ins the remains a big talking point here from the bottom line a coach i have to start strike. the story of one of the most successful p.r. campaigns in the u.s. study after study has demonstrated that israeli perspective dominated american media coverage what part of this case you get through your thick head is hamas a terrorist organization the only thing that you're going to say is what we want and if you don't say it when i go at you speak it would be very hard for ordinary americans to know that they're being deceived the occupation of the american mind
