has spent decades bringing measles under control but the number of people infected with the disease has suddenly began to shoot up what's behind the surge and cases around the world. and in the bundesliga with ten matches left in a car once again favored to win it all will find out what happened over the weekend and germany's top clean including the collision between the ball started as a parameter painful clash and ending for both teams. i'm swimming so much conduct good to have you with us at least twenty three people have been killed after a tornado tore through the u.s. state of alabama 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 two nato filmed from

a far as it wreaks havoc in alabama and this is what it left behind. the devastation is all too clear to see in the small community of borough god one of the areas worst hit in the county. here the violent twisted destroyed everything in its path. for those in the eye of the storm it was a terrifying experience. as watch the destructive clouds in and everything. everywhere and we were. going to come out of the community as we were just trying to get out of this area right here and you mention these often three as you were driving yes ma'am coming up around the corner as i was making a left right up there around thirty eight there and therefore the area right. now

is very much business you know. as state of emergency already in place in alabama a key 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. and they do these all over solid days following the story for us he sent us this update the area affected we're talking about is going house on my life several miles long and if you look at the pictures of the bank to the area where the tornado touched down it shows that it's after you can really tell us what one power of this tornado must've 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 effective that is south of the city of opelika and alabama where

twelve people at least all reportedly killed a survivor describes the situation as something seen in this whole i have search and rescue still going on 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 reported lee people are still missing out on fatal tees have been identified and so it's a situation in flux but one thing used sure this is one of the deadliest tornadoes hitting the region in a long time. that was that gave us all of our solid covering this story for us now new anti-government demonstrations have broken out in algeria after president abdelaziz bouteflika announced he would run in elections next month people have been taking to the streets for the last ten days to protest the president plans to stay on for a fifth term but just like i said he will step down within

a year if he's 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 beautiful era which has lasted twenty years i actually i think the jury is have gotten over their fear we're 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 that they're from god or they love them we're here to denounce this mafia our government this criminal swift taken the people hostage she wants to make a man who's prayer of your life president again g m o m p a plus 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 try 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. of us from city on the only thing that would work to get the people off the streets is if the president renounce his candidacy so that could be done on medical grounds. however at the moment that doesn't look likely 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 a little it to seem to people outrage 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 the people don't know whether beautifully to 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 in algeria. and we can talk to a journalist sophie and philip nasr he's covering the protests in algeria he says than the center of algiers the capital and he joins us on the line so tell us what you've been seeing what you've been witnessing while covering these protests over the last few days. right now i'm going downtown. it

is a lot of police to close in the streets but it's quiet right now because after yesterday when the teacher campaign manager handed in the paper for the candidacy people went to the streets again at night and protests and staged protests and marches countrywide. to focus on soon since we started our impressively peaceful. from both sides actually like we are for we have protests that were marching in all over the country and the only real case and what it would have been it's a confrontation between protesters and security forces when i was years where protests are expected to dance and to focus on one but it's in the it's an impressive and she full atmosphere best on the market full to last friday when we've seen the children time of these two women taking to the streets knowing that they can actually do it right now fighting yes this is for the for you kind of protest yes

ok and why has the government allowed these protests which are unprecedented as you said in their size in their strength why has the government allowed these to take place. this is an interesting question in cheek but what we've heard what he's dealing with you know she really is a semi ultra particular gene. and although protests were banned in algiers there was simply too many people in the street and when it comes to the ruling elite with getting with a fragmented regime we have several traction for the parts of the who can believe and since the oil rent is jolly interested in fourteen as a clash of clans so that federal agents within the region fighting against each other and it's quite likely that we have certain groups within the regime who would be quite happy to get goods to come. if it explain to us how algeria got here president with a flicker he is eighty two years old he is in poor health he's rarely seen in public why is there no alternative. so i alternatives of course but it's

not know which person might be the outcome of the on going on graph. theory for dui charge went on a truck and forged a contributor to ground in the region from the fleet and the family mobilized political and economic power didn't want to take up the government traction off the reasons which made it apparently quite impossible to find someone to get off in the region were frankly not able to agree on a contract for granted but. for the particular concern for. our eternal self and philip nasr speaking to us from our. thank you so much for your insights. now at some other stories making news around the world venezuela's opposition leader says he is returning to his country despite the threat of arrest on sunday

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 family's lives and that god loves them. it is indeed an unusual samba school gathered at copacabana beach there parts of the charismatic never say or snowball evangelical movement. no skimpy costumes here and also no alcohol that's to boo at 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 jellicoe deserved growing force in brazil and they have powerful allies in politics some ministers evangelicals and

evangelicals strongly support the recently elected right wing president child bolsa narrow a short distance down the street another sound the school is getting ready yet if the name of peach rio's k. community also celebrates carnival. they're deeply concerned by the election of polls a narrow who's repeatedly expressed homophobic views on if he's gotten that we're going through difficult times with all these crazies who have just come to power in presell but will have to stand up to them and that's why there's carnival is the state it cannot always stays. but they have nothing against evangelicals getting into the carnival spirit. we need religious and social freedom the evangelicals don't drink and i want either today this is water. off the main thing is that everyone feels good and happy to see.

the evangelicals at copacabana have a particular goal for carnival they want to convert nonbelievers. because 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 not i just was not exactly the usual carnival slogan. now to the growing number of students striking from schools around the world to demand action on climate change since august tens of thousands of students from europe to australia and uganda have walked out of their classes to push for more ambitious carbon cutting targets young people in nigeria have also been taking action to secure the future of their environment. they call themselves the climate warriors of lagos. they are determined to take back the beach and turn it into what it once was the place for sea shells. yet this pigeon lego's you can find

pretty much everything you can imagine like the flip flop just before i follow the tooth brush and of course volume of plastic now all of this of course belongs to us humans but it's them teenagers young students who are on a mission to protect the bridge a generation for their future. every week they collect about fifty bags of trash and the more they clean the beach the more changes. a change in my lifestyle for in fans i do you single use plastic and i have my what are you going to work recycle a blue. bag to market plastic waste is one of the biggest problems worldwide especially in places like lagos where single use plastic for example plastic bags is not prohibited. or in kenya.

the thirty year old activist has been busy battling pollution since she was a student and. she quit her job as a lawyer it takes everything from you physically mentally you know you have to be one hundred percent in this if not you just unfortunately children are the ones that are most affected it's really bad that we have so many plastics that come from the shows. i come here. and drink when you're trying to miss cleaning up the beaches just one of today's staff planting palm trees is a way to finish the state has a population of more than twenty million people it generates about forty metric tons so. every day the work seems endless but for them not hopeless. time to talk football now the latest from the bundesliga weekend we have everything

howard from did you sports with us hi anthony so there was some big news over the weekend but if they did byron catching up to dortmund i do want to ask you about that in a moment but first let's talk about what happened on sunday the best of sunday's games was very brown and playing both teams of great improvement this year and their chance to make the champions league places you make the top four you play in the champions league and you get a big big payday and that's so important to compete in football these days that in that so it might be the hardy topic to talk about an interesting game to watch but there was something else bubbling but need to surface here and it's coach from. and the chance that he might get poached mid-season to go in coach an entirely different club that being shelled so with the those two reasons in mind this guy isn't all that so from for those to raisins had an interesting story line and attention bubbling away on the native. britain is clearly still loved by the fans the old school sporting director you had caused a stir by describing their personal relationship as frustrate 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 maybe and the twelfth minute both players received treatment and were able to continue in the fifty fourth minute a maximum an arnold free kick found john anthony brooks to get balls pulled that lead is to teammates rough side but not judged to have interfered play ball school could have the majority of chances on the girls stood. twenty minutes later braman hit back captain much true with his fifth of the season brilliantly set up by across from me i'm starting to make it all a match finished all square with love a d. a clearly the more frustrated coach i suppose will drop out of the top six. disappointing result for both teams i didn't get what i want and that really the stories elsewhere in the bundesliga now yeah that's what i want to ask you about

a setback for dortmund they lost to oxford on friday and then byron one of they be glad where does that leave the title race leaves us re working this narrative of the season i'm going to pitch you an elevator pitch one leading to the death star they've won the last sixty. years and i win everything it's hard to stay excited so i'm doing my best about the bundesliga one side lopsided they've got their own gravitational pull of bank vault full of money that attracts the players the players when the trophies this year were supposed to be different or they've got a new coach some of their stuff players are getting a little older and that left dortmund to play the role of the jet i hear that though the young up and comers the rebellion stay with me if they can bear and at christmas time this script was sold it was looking fantastic they were leading by nine points a christmas dortmund overbought and we were thinking finally we're going to get something different but as we take a look at the table with ten weeks to go we say after the results you talked. about dortmund losing by and winning a six point swing and now the two sides a label on top of the title and the story of romance suddenly looks like

a horse so what's going to happen to the death star in the jet i can dortmund actually bounce back from this lake and it's going to be difficult to suddenly get the sound of inevitability to it that the young kids are struggling in the spotlight of the old the old horses the old stars are coming up for bond and they're playing better football. it's hard to believe i want to believe we're going to say something different but in my heart i think on our prepare for the worst we have to see how that plays out before we go i want to ask you about a social media moment mario balotelli in the top french league this was really making the rounds on social media tell us what happened ok so if i'm going to draw you a picture of a playboy superstar striker who scores goals and have fun i'm going to draw you a picture of maria bella tilly he is the poster child for the troubled star the man with so much talent he drives a lamborghini posset on the pavement outside the nightclub he comes back from the summer holidays light and gloriously fat he is my hero and he's also playing football in my sight but he always schools goals this is why he keeps collecting

the paycheck so that's why we're talking about him today because he scored a goal for my sight was a wonderful robots what he did next he goes to a cameraman behind the goal takes a telephone presumably he's on an instagram lives the moment of goal celebration with his teammates to his i point to being followed as being watch one point nine million times since and in a drab world of football was rooting cliches and dribbling on this man is a right of sunshine mario and long may it continue i can tell you're a fan of. policewoman done all right anthony howard from date of use for thank you so much. now to a sport i 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 wall track navigating sharp turns and high for tickle drops in the women's event amanda trends all of the u.s. is dressed in black hair secured the overall title despite falling and finishing
