u.n. has spent decades bringing the measles under control but the number of people infected with the disease has suddenly. what's behind the surge in cases around the world. with ten matches left behind we are once again favored to win it all find out what happened over the weekend in germany including the collision between both. teams had the. good to have you with us at least twenty two people have been killed after a tornado tore through the u.s. state of alabama worst hit is the area around the town of beauregard in the leak

emergency workers there describe the damage as catastrophic tens of thousands of homes are without power and many buildings have been destroyed the death toll is expected to rise as rescuers search through the rubble. the devastation is all around. this is the small community of. one of the areas in lee county alabama hit by a powerful tool nato that destroyed everything in its path. for those in the eye of the storm it was a terrifying experience. watched a destructive. path. and will come out of the community as we were just trying to get out of this area right here and you mention you often to bring as you were driving yes ma'am coming

up around the corner as i was making it up there around thirty. this whole area right. very much just down you know. as state of the merge and see already in place in alabama to last month's funding has been extended with many people having suffered serious injury in the storm the authorities are warning the death toll may rise further. to ws all over solid updated just a short while ago i asked him for the latest from alabama. so the area affected we're talking about is about how to a mile wide several miles long and if you look at the pictures of the strength of the area where the tornado touched down and shortly after you can really tell what one power of this tornado must or for you see hundreds of trees taken don't like matches houses that were devastated literally chopped into pieces and there's one

area that was particularly affected. pretty awful pillory to an alabama where twelve people are police are reportedly killed survivor describes the situation and something we have seen in his whole life search and rescue still go. it's nighttime there in alabama right now. the rescue forces there have problems carrying on survivors and taken to the hospital some have very serious injuries and reportedly people are still missing out on fatal te's have been identified and the situation in flux 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 affected we have alabama and georgia during sunday and now i wish we got val of the state senate or the extended state of emergency that was already issued them last month due to severe weather interreligious describe the region as favorable for fortune a to lose 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. well to algeria where a new anti-government demonstrations have broken out after president abdelaziz bouteflika announced he will run in elections next month people have been taking to the streets for the last ten days to protest against the president's plan to remain

in office for a fifth term but a flicker says he will step down within a year if reelected but it's unclear if that 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. but to me i think i'm curious have gotten over their fear on the streets to show that we reject the system of government 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 the phone 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. i'm over here because even for. 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. because i'm sick of us from so young the only thing that would work to get the people off the streets is if the present. and renounce 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. people are outraged with a 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 that people don't know whether beautifully to himself has decided to run again or someone else decided for him. across 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 in algeria. for some analysis now let's bring in. the he's a middle east and north african consultant based in boston thanks for being with us

this morning first of all. president we deplete it is saying that he is going to run again for president but he promises that if elected he won't complete is term and he'll call early elections is that going to convince his critics. i believe the tightest are 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 the m does it trick a person we're talking about the entire algerian system the usher the country out of it's a roaring one nine hundred ninety nine and what is clear from the demonstrations and the matter of the outpour of anger and emotions in the past two weeks is that the us are looking for an end not only for the vote fifty era but also for the current system that is governing algeria which is a hybrid of business interests intelligence services military and political.

centers of power that are controlling the country and if not addressed potentially looking at a very as well on the mediterranean type of scenario of give of nouns. and economies faltering and the people know that and she looked on that every day and they decided who is responsible for there are problems and that sometimes it works and for the regime to stadium 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 pressure 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 plans. 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 the contrie 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 shares not of the protests the protests are

a reaction it is the regime itself that is destabilizing algeria and that's very important to remember now so what does the. middle east analyst based in boston thank you very much for your analysis and here. now to some other stories making headlines around the world today but this whale is opposition leader one why dose says he is returning to his country despite the threat of arrest on sunday he left ecuador after a tour of latin american countries he called on business wayland's to join protests on monday against president nicolas maduro. always chief financial officer maying one joe is suing canada over her arrest back in december the move could delay her extradition to the united states where she's set to face charges of violating sanctions against iran her case has heightened existing economic tensions between washington and beijing. and dystonia looks set to get its first female

prime minister after sunday's general election the country's center right reform party led by one the poll with almost twenty nine percent of the vote the center party of current prime minister you came in second with twenty three. you're watching news still to come cleaning up carnival it's known for excess and decadence but now even jellicoe groups are hoping to convert people to christianity at rio's johnny cart. down to a deadly disease seeing a global resurgence we're talking here about 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 may top two million well over a third of the cases were reported right here in europe with the biggest outbreak

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 and a low backs a nation rate of just forty two percent is another factor a further epidemic is underway in the african nation of my. which also has a low box nation rate more than nine hundred people have died there since september and an additional hotspot the philippines where more than two hundred people have died this year most of them children that's that could have been prevented by safe effective back scenes there as in other countries mistrust of vaccines is rising the government has responded by launching a major immunization drive. tents have been erected to deal with the overflow inside the sickly in wait worried parents watching on the philippines has been crypt outbreak. early and rubeus two month old baby caught the highly infectious

virus before he was old enough to be vaccinated. my baby had a lot of rashes i thought it was because he was taking antibiotics for his cough and colds but it turned out to be measles. it's already painful to see your baby sick what more when you hear that many have died from the disease but you don't want that to happen to your baby. there have been more than eight thousand cases of measles in the philippines since the start of the year more than one hundred people have died mostly very young children who are unvaccinated the house department has declared a measles outbreak and says that it is now struggling to contain it. does this really need to do. d.v.d.'s because the challenge is to attain the herd immunity herd immunity means that you have enough people or bucks of

a third so that those who are got vaccinated are able to transmit their missiles vitals and in fact others. in the philippines have been dropping in the last few years a recent scare involving a dandy vaccine caused immunization rates to plummet even further. all these are. the songs. we have a vaccine coverage in the. it even what about the forty percent. efforts to tip the scales haven't been fast enough charmaine such she'd been immunized but picked up the virus at a health center for a prenatal check up measles can be extremely dangerous for pregnant women. i'm scared about what will happen to my baby but i'm trying to be strong.

you know lots of. my doctors said the condition shouldn't affect the baby because i'm at thirty two weeks already. but i'm scared. of the local authorities are working with the red cross to increase hospital beds for those affected and immunized as many people as possible to try and contain the outbreak. mothers like angela are not taking any more chances. you can see what i mean out in the news about kids dying from the dengue fever vaccination scared me so i was scared to have my children vaccinated. but now i know it's for their own safety. immunization rates are steadily rising again health authorities hope that the continued confidence in vaccines will help stem this measles outbreak. moving on to brazil where

thousands of dancers from the country's elite samba schools are taking part of the world famous rio de janeiro carnival is the first carnival since the election last year of right wing president jaya both so naro he came to power on a wave of support from conservative evangelical groups traditionally such groups have taken a dim view of carnivals excesses but this year they too are joining the fray. members of one of rears evangelical churches praying ahead of carnival. like selloffs and we're also going on the street today to tell all the people that jesus loves them that he wants to ensure their family's lives and that god loves them. it is indeed an unusual sambil school gathered at copacabana beach that part of the charismatic ballinger never a horse no bull evangelical movement. no

skimpy costumes here and also no alcohol that's to bouilhet this church it's 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 carnival like having affairs or people getting killed not. everything is better with jesus they saying even jelly calls or 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 china both. a short distance down the street another sound the school is getting ready yet if the name of beach korea's gay community also celebrates carnival. they're deeply concerned by the election of both a narrow who's repeatedly expressed homophobic views of him if he's gotten that

we're going through difficult times with all these crazies who have just come to power in prison but will have to send up to them and that's why there's carnival is the state it got not always states. but they have nothing against evangelicals getting into the carnival spirit. we need religious and social freedom the evangelicals don't drink and i won't either today the. this is water. the main thing is that everyone feels good and happy. the evangelicals that kind of pick a band that have a particular goal for konovalov they want to convert nonbelievers. we want to reach those who don't yet know jesus christ we can also be happy without alcohol drugs and those kinds of things in this world we don't need them we've got jesus now that is 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 spoilt brain the best of the action for sure now but things got a 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 when a hottie talking to you one of this time of the year that this can also have an underlying story line that was brewing before kickoff and that was the coach i bring out of my body 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 yucks 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 to collided with me a match made me and the twelfth minute both players received treatment and were able to continue in the fifty fourth minute a maximum on arnold free kick found john anthony brooks to get both ball didn't lead is to teammates rough side but not judged to have interfered play ball school could have the majority of chances on the goal stood. twenty minutes later braman hit back up to much true with his fifth of the season brilliantly set up by a cross from maximilian it is starting to make it all a much finished all square with liberty a clearly the more frustrated coach i suppose will drop out of the top six. so point each terry but 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 knevitt 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 jet by 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 dortmund with 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 by an adult and i'm now level on points and it's getting hard to imagine that 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 goldman bounce back they could it's not over yet i mean they've got the best young player in the boons league or in jaden sense show but really it's starting to get such a familiar smell to what we've seen this story before six episodes in a row the death star has crushed the rebellion and i'm ready 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 because you and he thanks so much anthony howard from date obvious sports. now before the weekend just one man was ever able to reach one hundred career titles in professional tennis and that was u.s. legend jimmy connors but now this staggering feat has also been achieved by roger favorite the swiss has become the second man to reach the one hundred title milestone after winning the dubai championship on. i if there was ever a well deserved standing ovation this was it. and even the cool roger federer got

a tiny bit emotional. well it makes me look back at how it all started and how about that one of my first title back in milan which was actually owned by the dubai tournament at the time. and yeah i was hoping that one day i was going to win a title just before the final and i did and and i'm sitting here today having one hundred is i don't know is this believe this was dominated greek youngster stuff honesty plus from the start when the first set six for. the second set was pretty much the same fifty plus didn't play bad but federer played better six for six for the final score. six. the swiss was first congratulated by t.t. pass and then praised his opponent will see so much more of him and i always enjoy playing the next generation you know that come through because one day i'll be
