the block the heart of the law is the much debated article thirteen its proponents claim it will help copyright holders protect their intellectual property but opponents fear it could lead to a restriction in online freedoms four years of intense argument came to a head in strasburg on cheese day when the european parliament debated copyright reform german lawmaker axel fast negotiated the deal on behalf of the parliament thank you let's get on the edge start list this is about the rule of law it's all one we're talking about is protecting a fundamental right it's about property and about the right to intellectual property and finally it's about fair payment for content creators it's up to us to save european cultural products and not to hand them over to tech monopolies for them to plunder. or it won't take more no police. the

aim of this reform is to require those who profit from content shared on the internet to obtain permission to do so and if necessary to pay the originator it's . people like musician alexander dommage who currently find it almost impossible to benefit when their creative work is uploaded to the internet. this is about a fundamental right to creators who want to live from their efforts composers photographers whatever have a right to share in the commercial exploitation of their work that means to receive payment for the. critics fear the change will make the internet less free and lead to de facto censorship there's legitimate content is mistakenly kept offline they also worry that small platforms will struggle to chase down all the licenses to use content. tens of thousands of people across europe who demonstrated against the

plans many feel strongly regulation of the internet should be as light as possible although others say the protests were part of a managed campaign by big corporations like google. with european elections just weeks away the issue of copyright on the internet has become intensely controversial. opponents of the reform say the change means content will be checked by automatic filters rather than human beings. what the politicians expect algorithms to be able to do is to tell the difference between a copyright infringement and satire as long as artificial intelligence does not develop a sense of humor this is something that's going to remain impossible i think we should not trust the block black box of an algorithm to tell us what we can and cannot post online. in the end the strasberg parliament voted in favor of the full

package of copyright reforms by three hundred forty eight votes to two hundred seventy four. the year member states has now formally approved the legislation before it can take effect. and now to algeria where the army chief has called for the president to be declared unfit to rule the army says it wants to trigger a constitutional process that would put a caretaker leader in place as he is with a flicker has been in power for two decades and is now in failing health algeria has seen weeks of peaceful mass protests calling for the president to resign. straight to the algerian the capital algiers to journalist so if you're not sure who is a standing by for you can you fill us in that what's the latest. we had protests going on the whole the whole day calling for good to speak up to step down and against next engine altered mandates but now off to the city to ration off

on the cheap it's a very quiet in the capital there's no celebrations ongoing. we have a lot of security some police forces being deployed in the city quite narrow and i've been pressured to know exactly that there is no rule and no reason to celebrate right now because this step was long overdue. now or it's up to the constitutional process also finding out how to continue with this political crisis and i'm sure so it looks like the algerians are taking a wait and see where you are why did it take the army chief this long to make a statement like this and what does it mean. then took it to have the statement is that it's actually not about the army chief has not to the constitutional rights to declare the president unfit to rule you it's a it's further it's up to the constitutional council but the fact that also the

whole. you know nigeria right now is taking up the statement so that very clearly whom isn't chaunced for everyone knows that it's the army who was the kingmaker in this political game right now all right the algerian journalist is a finance we're putting from algiers thank you and let's get you now the back story on this a developing story with the d.w. arabic said bashir ahmad who's with me here in the studio bashir to talk to us a little bit about what influence this movie is likely to have on this along developing story now are things that have been a struggle for power in the region for the last three weeks. because of the two. of. the article one hundred and two has to be applied is of course that it's too late the people in andrea has been calling for this since six years because

they could have been hit by a stroke in two thousand and thirteen and he was not able to talk at all to take any decision since then so what would happen now the constitution says that both chambers of parliament have to vote have to approve. the vacancy of presidency with a tooth majority and the president of the council of the nation. will take over power as interim president for four forty five days and. forty five days that we look a second time and see if they can see is not and it will be of course then he will be charged with organizing new elections within another forty five days so we will have in algeria in three months i think in three months new president new elections of course if the protesters accept this move all right and that then

brings me to my next question of course you have had these sustained protests for over a month now on the streets in l.g. are calling for which if we could to step down as it appears now that the military felt for stories hands were forced to intervene is this what the algerians wanted for the military to intervene are they reassured by this what we have to say now that this is not a direct intervention of the military thus sheaf of the military is calling for all of the both chambers of the parliament to take their responsibility but what the protesters did when they went to the streets for five weeks they were only calling for a renouncement for this fifth of the fleet on the regime they didn't accept it at the beginning they were. only if only there are hundreds of thousands but now we have more than twenty millions. invested in this calling for the objection of the

whole regime not interested of all the solutions. to the whole division not only the cloud of good sleep but that brings me to my final question i've got twenty seconds for this is it tough on you but i want to ask it nonetheless you're referring to but just like you said this is the end game for britain but he has that entire infrastructure all these tentacles everywhere of his clan i just people just going to disappear no. i think his clan is finished but we have many clans at least three clans inside the regime who had this struggle of power in the last years and the tool rest to rest and will try to recycle themselves to in order to stay in power right to be continued for sure i'm going on from arabic thank you. and that's where you have to strain it was some of the other stories making news around the world the european parliament has voted to
