for a fifth term ayling president has offered to step down within a year if reelected but will it be enough to appease the protesters. and the u.n. to spend decades bringing me under control but the number of people infected with the disease has suddenly begun to shoot up what's behind the surge in cases around the world. and the bonus league with ten matches left are once again favored to win it all. happened over the weekend in germany's top league including the coalition between both. painful for both teams as well. hello i'm terry martin well. to the program authorities in alabama say at least

twenty two people have been killed after tornadoes swept through the state worst hit is the area around the town of beauregard in lee county authorities there describe the damage as catastrophic saying the biggest challenge is the sheer volume of debris the storms created the death toll is expected to rise as rescuers search through the large numbers of destroyed homes at least forty people are being treated in local hospitals alabama's governor warns that more severe weather might be on the way. our correspondent there is sal it is following this story for us and joins us now what's the latest on the disaster in alabama. so the area affected we're talking about is on house on my life several miles long and if you look at the pictures of these of this aspect of the area where the tornado touched down it shows the disaster you can really tell

a power of this tornado must have had you see hundreds of trees taken down like matches houses that were devastated literally chopped into pieces and there's one area that was particularly affected that is south of the city of opelika and alabama where twelve people at least are reportedly killed a survivor describes the situation as something we have seen in his whole life search and rescue still going on it's nighttime there in alabama right now. the rescue forces there have problems carrying on survivors are taking to the hospital some have very serious injuries reportedly people are still missing out on fatal tees have been identified and so the situation in flux there but one thing used sure yet this is one of the deadliest tornadoes hitting the region in a long time and all of it i understand that the danger is not over yet.

that's right so there's a tornado watch is still active in the areas of the of the state of georgia and south carolina we have to mention that this is not only one turn a little but a series of tornadoes that have hit alabama and georgia during sunday and now. valid the state senator they are extended a state of emergency that was already issued them last month due to severe weather minter religious describe the region as a rule for four to natal at this point in the problem now being thousands of households without electricity and the temperatures or draw are about to drop in the region which will lead to further problems for the survivors in the region all of our thanks for bringing us up to date d.w. oliver solve it. new anti-government demonstrations a broken l.t. nailed geria after president bush if he would run in elections next month people

have been taking to the streets for ten days to protest against the president's plans to remain in office now he has offered to step down within a year if reelected but it's unclear if this will appease the demonstrators. demonstrations are officially banned here but that didn't stop thousands of people from taking to the streets these protests have been going on for almost two weeks now most of the demonstrators are young and they want an end to the beautifully era which has lasted twenty years. in chile and i think the jury is have gotten over their fear on the streets to show that we reject the system of government that we're calling for freedom all kinds of freedom including freedom of the press that's why we hear you and what they found on what a lot of them we're here to denounce this mafia our government these criminals who

have taken the people hostage she wants to make a man who is parity a life president again g m o m p a plus if you will. the man the protesters are unhappy with president putin registered on sunday to run again in the upcoming election or more to the point he had his team register for him the president himself was in a swiss hospital in geneva officially just for a routine check up he's been in a wheelchair since suffering a stroke in two thousand and thirteen and rarely makes public appearances his reaction to the demonstrations is what he's always done when things get dicey trying to reassure the public he's promised to call for early elections should he get reelected whether that would be enough to calm the unrest is far from certain. sick of us from the only thing that would work to get the people off the streets is if the president announces his candidacy so that could be done on medical grounds. however at the moment that doesn't look likely it is in fact

a resource rich nation with large gas and oil reserves but recent drops in the price of crude oil has hit the economy hard every day life has become a struggle for many algerians almost half of the population is under age twenty and unemployment remains high people are frustrated and the government seems to be paralyzed to the people outraged with the president who has become more authoritarian yet he himself has barely been up to the task of ruling and his closest allies have gotten rich over the years to people don't know whether to flick on himself has decided to run again or someone else decided for him. to cross the country protesters are demanding a new better future to flee because rule may very well be coming to an end what happens afterwards raises many questions opposition parties are hopelessly splintered and powerless these are indeed decisive days you know. for some analysis now let's bring in. the middle east and north african consultant based in

boston thanks for being with us this morning first of all. presently deplete it is saying that he is going to run again for president but he promises that if elected he won't complete his charm and he'll call early elections is that going to convince his critics. i believe that that is star going to be the case because the key the key word as was mentioned in your report is barely alive and here we're not even we're not only talking about i'm going as if the trip a person we're talking about the entire algerian system the usher the country out of its civil war in one nine hundred ninety nine and what is clear from the demonstrations and the mass the outpour of anger and emotions in the past two weeks is that the us are looking for in and not only for the fifth they are but also for the current system that is governing algeria which is

a hybrid of business interests intelligence services military and political. the censors of power and going are controlling the country and if not addressed potentially looking out of their own as well on the mediterranean type of scenario give nouns. and economies falter and the people know that and they she looked on every day and they decided who is responsible for their problems and that's obvious as it works and for the regime sustaining him so now there's not going to this is not going to satisfy the public opinion based on what i have seen now we are seeing . in algeria continuing in in the capital algiers but also outside of algeria and places like paris how much staying power do you think this protest movement parallels. i'm not sure that is the right question. again the

context here is that we're looking at a man who was brought as a consensus candidate to. walk a culture out of a bloody decade of civil war and that that man who has been in power for twenty years either by design or by incompetence she and the system failed to produce an air or someone who could take the baton and lead to concentrate on and so the fundamental problem that we're having here is we want to know where the algerian system of government itself has run out of life it's on life support and the real risk here is for the situation to escalate and that the military that has been to politicize for the last decade at least would step in and wake up one day and you don't have tanks in the streets and a scenario akin to what happened in egypt so the situation is fraught with dangers and the most important thing here to remember is that the share is not of the

protests the protests are a reaction it is the regime itself that is destabilizing algeria and yes very important to remember nasr what the. middle east analyst based in boston thank you very much for your analysis. thank you. now some other stories making headlines around the world today beddes whalers opposition leader one says he's returning to his country despite the threat of arrest on sunday he left ecuador after a tour of latin american countries he called on venezuelans to join protests on monday against president nicolas maduro. while ways chief financial officer main one joe is suing canada over her arrest back in december the move could delay her extradition to the united states where she is set to face charges of violating sanctions against iran or case has heightened existing economic and diplomatic

tensions between washington and beijing. dystonia looks set to get its first female prime minister after sunday's general election country's center right reform party led by kaja colace won the poll with almost twenty nine percent of the vote the center of party current prime minister you are iraq came in second with twenty three. now to a deadly disease seeing a global resurgence measles the world health organization says the number of cases doubled last year to almost two hundred thirty thousand and that's just reported cases the actual number could top two million well over a third of the cases were reported here in europe with the biggest alp break in ukraine this year it's had twenty thousand cases as well as eight deaths the conflict in eastern ukraine has contributed to the spike in a low vaccination rate of just forty two percent is another factor

a further epidemic is underway in the african nation of madagascar which also has a low vaccination rate more than nine hundred people have died there since september and additional hotspots the philippines where more than two hundred people have died this year most of them children deaths that could have been prevented by safe effective vaccines but there as in other countries mistrust of vaccines is rising the government has responded by launching a major immunization drive. well for more now we're joined from our studio by catherine the bull of the noble a health specialist with unicef in ukraine covering thank you for joining us today first of all give us a sense of just how serious the measles outbreak is in ukraine. break it's quite big for the moment and people are kept to be hospitalized and this

is both including children and adults because it's not really children disease anymore and adults usually are affected and the tragedy of the situation is that people are not so much in that rush to get talks and made it so you still have to convince them to go and get their measles vaccine which are available in all the house facilities in our country in which we're procured by the ministry of health and ministry of health says doing lots of efforts to convince people to come and get vaccinated and on the supply side. all health care providers to be really reassuring to be really convincing when they are explaining about immunization because unfortunately we have a lot of cases when health care providers have the only thole a-g. with that he got this vaccine and they are not giving solid advice to parents so this is the situation we are facing why is ukraine being so severely affected by this measles epidemic while other countries in europe or nah.

there are several reasons for that in my opinion first that we had years when we didn't have vaccines and there was. the build up of non-blacks and even people of all different ages in two thousand and eight there was a big attempt and begin to national efforts of donors to have supplementary immunization campaign to immunize a lot of people against measles and rubella but unfortunately this campaign failed due to the huge politicisation of one of the death which was falsely alleged to the vaccine so these people didn't get their protection and then vaccines appeared but the coverage rates were not so high so basically there is a bunch of people of different ages who are not protected against measles so that's why measles which is one of the most contagious diseases can easily spread among them and the second thing is that there is no unity among health care workers towards the box nation. now some people distrust vaccination as we know what can

be done to address their concerns and convince them that backs the nations are not only safe but necessary. we are trying as unicef to do our best to work with all different target audiences that but primary for us the most important target audience is healthcare providers because people basically do what finally their doctor advised them to do and if that doctor is really reassured himself if he's convinced if he's clear when he's consulting a patient patient will follow the advice so we have trying to do our best to work as much as possible with health care workers and as well with the university professors in ukraine to make them more convincing about immunization cuts alina thank you so much for filling us in there catalina. from ukraine.

now it's been eight years since the fukushima nuclear plant in japan was destroyed by an earthquake and tsunami disaster sent radioactivity around a large area forcing tens of thousands of people to flee the plans offer aid or tepco says radiation has now subsided to the point that much of the area can be visited without special protection gear our reporters went to the plant to see what it looks like today. tepco wants to persuade us that it has the situation under control. we're not allowed to film everything here but at least we get a glimpse of what they think control might mean the building containing its nuclear reactors continues to emit radiation the whole way is take us into another building away from the reactor in a labyrinth of car doors once flooded by the tsunami we have to change our shoes several times as a precaution against radioactive dust we get to the control room of reactors three

and four eight years ago this is where stuff desperately trying to prevent the meltdown of the reactor core. which is that people. try to. find. two weeks ago a tepco robot for the first time reached the materials which were produced in the in a court during the meltdown. no one knows exactly where all of the estimated eight hundred eighty tons of this material. at chernobyl the material was encased in concrete but tepco wants to extract it completely. so you know. the goal of thirty to forty years is not based on exact information but is instead a rough estimate in order to get a more exact time table we would have to gather even more data. is another problem is disposing of the contaminated water about one million two hundred thousand cubic

meters of contaminated cooling and runoff water stored in these tanks but time is of the essence as the tanks can only hold another two hundred thousand cubic meters . the water is not clean despite extensive attempts to decontaminate it. right action levels are still too high fishermen and farmers in the region are worried that in the end the water will just be dumped in the sea. thousands of dancers from brazil's elite sambo's schools are enjoying the highlight of their calendar the world famous rio de janeiro carnival it's the first carnival since the election last year of brazil's right wing president gyre balsa he came to power on a wave of support from conservative evangelical groups who take a dim view of carnivals traditional excesses. members of one of rio's evangelical churches praying ahead of carnival. like so often we're also

going on the street today to tell all the people that jesus loves them that he wants to enter their families line and that god loves them. it is indeed an unusual sound a school gathered at copacabana beach that part of the charismatic born to never a snowball evangelical movement. no skimpy costumes here and also no alcohol that's to boot this church its minister says they want to celebrate it clean carnival. you see you can have fun without alcohol without disputes without all the things that you usually associate with conical like having a fish is people getting killed not. everything is better with jesus they saying even jelly calls are a growing force in brazil and they have powerful allies in politics some ministers

evangelicals and evangelicals strongly support the recently elected right wing president jaya both. a short distance down the street another sound the school is getting ready at the name of beach rio's k. community also celebrates carnival. they're deeply concerned by the election of polls so narrow who's repeatedly expressed homophobic views of him if he's got in that we're going through difficult times with all these crazy. these who have just come to power in prison but will have to stand up to them and that's why there's accountability. it cannot always. but they have nothing against evangelicals getting into the con of all spirit. that my god we need religious and social freedom the evangelicals don't drink and i won't either today this is water. this is the main thing is that everyone feels

good and happy. the evangelicals that kind of pick about not have a particular goal for con of all they want to convert nonbelievers. but i think we want to reach those who don't yet know jesus christ who can also be happy without alcohol drugs and those kinds of things in this world we don't need them we've got jesus they're just not exactly the usual carnival slogan. oh yes a football for you now and the latest from the bonus legal weekend anthony howard from d.w. sports is with me hey anthony three so i want to get your take on by and munich catching up to dortmund at the top of the table in just a minute but first tell me about sunday's big match both sport brain the best of the action for sure now but things are going to chance to make europe so that's where the big payday is if you make the top four you make that money and that's a very powerful thing in football and hockey talking to one of this time of the year but this can also had an underlying story line that was brewing before kickoff

and that was that will spoke coach bernard labadie a could get punched a coach shell a superpower struggling at the bottom of the table so this one very much had an underlying theme to it and that gave it an underlying tension as the game kicked off. bruno labadee a is clearly still loved by the fans old school sporting director york's muscular had caused a stir by describing their personal relationship as frosty during the week ahead of contract negotiations the green and white affair started off with a bang visiting goalkeeper usually puzzling collided with me a match medhi in the twelve minutes both players received treatment and were able to continue in the fifty fourth minute a maximum of an arnold free kick found john anthony brooks to get balls pulled the lead is to teammates rough side but not judged to have interfered play full school could have the majority of chances on the goal stuart. twenty minutes later braman

hit back to mark's cruiser with his fifth of the season brilliantly set up by a cross from maximillian biggest time to make it all the much finished all square with liberty a clearly the more frustrated coach i suppose will drop out of the top six. so points terabit really in on satisfactory results by five but the status quo for my but i don't take a step forward and there's a big setback for dortmund at the start of the weekend they lost to borg and by and thrashed five one what does that mean for the title race i'm going to put you the story of the title race as a movie so far as a script now by munich of the death star they've won the last six they always win in the end it's getting the sound of a never the ability of out of the bundesliga they've got lots of money and they attract lots of stars that attracts lots of trophies they've won the last six they had the bad guy but this was supposed to be the year in which the young rebels fight back that was dortmund in the role of the jade the young team of teenagers

and young stars who could actually fight back and break the stranglehold the a bind have had on the competition i don't know what cost perfectly but things have started to go wrong for them in the last month they were leading the league by nine points at christmas we had sold this script that all was better and you can see that. now some ten weeks later with ten weeks to go in the season bought and opened and now live on points and it's getting hard to imagine anything different is going to happen here well yeah i mean don't give up on the jet i just yet at least i won't tell me could go up and bounce back they could it's not over yet i mean they've got the best young player in the boons later in jaden sense show but really it's starting to get such a familiar smell to what's seen this story before six episodes in a row the death star has crush the rebellion and unready for some romance in the seventh episode this year we pray and we hope if you're not a bond fan that we say something different this year and he thanks so much anthony howard from date obvious sports. now sport you don't see every

day the ice cross downhill championship it was held in canada over the weekend it's an extreme sport in which competitors skate downhill on a walled track navigating sharp turns and high vertical drops dizzy just looking out in in the women's event among. the rest she's dressed in black she scared the overall title despite all that and finishing third in the final race in the men's category another american came out on top cameron nods was able to win the final race to seal his title. and poor joe just remind of the top stories we're following for you here today on c.w. news storms and at least one tornado swept through the u.s. state of alabama killing at least twenty two people who say they expect the death toll to rise as rescuers search the rubble. algerian leader
