there have been reports of at least 14 if not more people that have died in protests in the last $3.00 to $4.00 days much of these need to be confirmed obviously so far the national government has confirmed just one protester has died and another policeman in the city of so watch yesterday consequences. being heard the 1st day on wednesday in the south in that city of swatches south. but so far today a may day these rallies have all been extremely peaceful we haven't seen any attacks on property or anything like that that people are there's a lot of anti government feelings here a lot of anger towards the president to pay for this tax reform and also for the

consequences of the restrictions of the pandemic that have hit the people extremely hard to hear and for a long. thousands of people have joined the major demonstrations across europe despite kovan 1000 restrictions to demand social and economic justice in greater job security pandemics crippled many of europe's economy young people concerned about their future. london. tear gas in paris an all too familiar sight france's may day demonstrations traditionally a show of force by the country's mighty trade unions. a message for the government the power lies not with politicians but with people. this year labor unions who are joined by members of the yellow vest movement that kicked off a wave of anti-government protests 3 years ago. the french president emmanuel micron remains under mounting pressure to abandon economic and social reforms as

a reminder that many old frustrations haven't gone away and in some cases they've deepened leave bark out 0 london. somalia's lower house of parliament has unanimously voted to council extending the president's term in office president mohamed mohammed has directed the prime minister to prepare for elections parliament approved a 2 year term extension last month but out spawns protests and fighting in the capital mommas term ended in february but he stayed on as talks on a new elections told malcolm webb possible the story from nairobi. this move today on the part of parliament is certainly expected to deescalate the tension that we've seen recently in somalia's capital mogadishu just a week ago different factions of the security forces were fighting each other those who support the president known widely by his nickname farmer joe were fighting with other factions that support the opposition now the opposition had objected to

parliament voting to extend his term by 2 years they said that was illegal another followed the failure to hold those elections that were meant to happen in february now there are still some fairly major hurdles in in the weeks ahead from september last year up until february the central government and the governments of the 570 semi autonomous states couldn't agree on the terms for this election to go ahead that's why it didn't happen that agreement still needs to be reached now if it is to happen and it's also important to understand that the election that's planned isn't one in which everyone gets to vote rather community leaders will get to choose members of parliament or members of parliament will get to elect the president and there's a lot of mistrust from the opposition in farmer joe's government and the former self wants to stay in power lot of the opposition think that he won't agree to the terms of any election that doesn't favor him so there are certainly some major

challenges still to be resolved in the weeks ahead if indeed that tension is to be deescalated in the fears of violence that we saw last week was a lot of people thought could if we didn't go well end up with the country returning to a state of civil war. a fire me as an associate professor of security studies at cass university and also understanding somalia configuration he says somali can only move forward with fair and inclusive elections. so there has to be an election but that election has to be also inclusive and there must be and i agree that the prime minister of presidents and here today by the way the prime minister would face a number of challenges. everybody mistrust the government so he has to earn the house to restore the confidence that was last 2nd he has to actually engage all of the

parties that have issues with this election that are 5 issues by the way the actual i mean task is very difficult to the problem is that the people do not trust the people do not want to talk to each other because obviously the president or a number of the aftermath is had issues with each other and also the opposition groups and the whole school at the environment has been securitized remember that this decision. divided the school to force or not the military saw mali as a national army forces that are fighting units of militia and that's really bad so i think the good thing about this perhaps for the president and for the house of the people is that they're trying to correct may be their mistake and leave a better legacy even if they don't come back for the election that is good for everyone i mean inclusive credible. free election is

language that that doesn't other the people that you share the island with or your share northern ireland with but language that shows that you're sensitive to their concerns one word the right way can you know it can open people up and it can make them a consult and hearts where as one word the wrong way and you can harden hearts some are using the word celebration that is a difficult word and so for very 2 far most of the centenary is that we have been through we haven't used those words we've used the word commemoration we've used softer words we've used words that open up to inclusion and that understand that there are some for whom this was a tragedy and not a when some feel it's ironic that the santini comes at a time when irish unity is edging back onto the agenda helped by breck's at the puts an e.u. trade border in the irish sea separating the u.k.

mainland from the island protestants fear alienation the government here in dublin sees are as unity as a distant prospect officially at least could it happen sooner rather than later well there's a growing body of opinion that it could do you will never solve the problems of northern ireland by violence the good friday peace agreement recognise something that fighting couldn't achieve a referendum on irish unity dependent on catholics becoming a majority that's likely to be confirmed that a new u.k. census then brit. and besides if there is a referendum this is the birthplace of irish democracy and there's another factor briggs it took northern ireland against its will out of the european union so for a lot of center middle ground people a united ireland is the only route back to the european union and the advantages which they enjoyed as european union citizens and many young people in the south support reunification and what their leaders to put more emphasis on the cheating

and i think that the planning and preparation for a should be because immediately to mitigate some of the damaging impacts of brigs it particularly and what we've seen with solar and political leaders a lot of the time is putting it on the long finger and pointed to some indiscriminate data in the future but irish history with all of its overwhelming violence baby the biggest obstacle for now on both sides of the divide many feel reconciliation still has some way to go under simmons i'll just do a. full astronauts are on their way back to earth from the international space station capsule splashed down the gulf of mexico off the coast of florida the 1st grade to be brought back from the space station by space x. as part of its partnership with nasa once it lands the company hopes to refurbish the capsule to be used once again on future missions.
