their biggest match of the season with a lack of investment compared to the. chances. i'm phil gayle welcome to the program algeria's political crisis is coming to a head the leader of the ruling coalition are and the party has joined calls from the head of the army for the acting president to be declared unfit to roll abdel aziz beautifully has been in power nearly twenty years critics say he's led a corrupt regime and hoarded the country's wealth algerian safin protesting for weeks trying to force him to step down. pushing forward algerians seize the momentum and renew their demands for political change. students teachers and workers again called for an immediate end to the administration that

has ruled algeria for twenty years. they were spurred on by a declaration by the country's army chief general. who in front of his troops to clear the ailing president abdelaziz bouteflika too ill to serve. general wants to trigger an article of the constitution that could bring down the president he said the move would respect the demands of the algerian people and ensure the continuity of the state. if parliament approved the request the senate president would take charge until new elections can be held a presidential vote was for april but in february the eighty two year old beautifully announced his intention to run for a fifth term before withdrawing his bid and postponing elections indefinitely. as announcement came as a welcome news to many. this is

a brave decision and it's the first step on a path toward democracy a path that is still long we appreciate the step and we are waiting other steps the movement will continue until the realization of a democratic republic the second republic. it's a good step for the algerian people but we won't stop here we'll keep up the movement and we will keep watching what happens until we reach our aim which is the change of government they all have to go. protests continued the president's fate may now be in the hands of parliament which is likely to soon vote at the military's request. let's explore this further with a double reporter bashir maroon who was recently returned from algeria a welcome to the studio to share so firstly these calls from the head of the army the head of this political party what has prompted them to call to join

these calls for the president's resignation i would begin with the ruling was the so-called hooting coalition because what we have to know is that the political system nigeria is without any power. the ministers the members of parliament are only doing what they're instructed to do and they enjoy no trust in the population so what they're doing now is what the army chief suggested to do and concerning the i mean chief himself who was installed by defeat as army chief in two thousand and six and is known for bit for being a loyal ally of fico so what's he's doing now is i think it's quite a maneuver to save his skin and to keep the chances to to play a further role in the new system he's seeing which way the wind is knowing that he sees i don't even try to threaten the people five four weeks ago he he

said that what's happening now the protests. open a new civil law and then two weeks after he changes his positions and began to praise the protesters for the civic feelings and for the better it isn't so i don't think that that's his his real feelings on the one hundred you say the politician is speaking up because he never had any power anyway and he has nothing to lose and the the the soldier is speaking out because he thinks the other side is going to win this is him switching sides so as far as you can tell that they shouldn't rule looks like we're in the. last days of the bloody flicker regime what because the regime in stuff is finished but the regime consists of many clans it's not only. two other clans with interest in the fire power struggle and then the other two

clans we find now to recycle themselves in order to keep their positions and to play a certain road and the next system. to them the people are all aware of this do they regard these these three clans as being as bad as each other or is is there some good amongst them do they reject the whole system they're calling for regime change and the protests gaining power from weekend to weekend before ten days. fifteen twenty millions in the streets and that's why the how and moment. searching for a new position to to satisfy the people and to save the best pins as i say so the first step to the next step that is for parliament to to rule on whether the president is fit to continue in office with which way is that likely to go well it will happen as suggested by the army chief the constitutional council with.

said that would fit as unfit to govern and then both chambers of parliament would come together and vote with a majority of two thirds of the members that's what's required that he's unfit then the president the head of the senate will take over power interim president for forty five days and then after forty five days they will look if still unfit and it will be of course and then he will have another forty five days to organize new elections and that's. the crucial point because people are rejecting also. who is the actual had of the senate because he is a member of of the old regime he would be the next person he would be the you know in the era of resident of it and the mists mistrust him then now he is not able to

lead the transition and he's not able to organize fat elections. believe me there was a fascinating situation thanks so much for helping us to guiding us through that. thank you thank you for having. well take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world health officials in mozambique five cases of cholera the first since the world health organization bored with the possible epidemic two weeks after a site learned they hate the u.s. supreme for more than two hundred eighty million dollars in aid it says up to three million people in mozambique and neighboring countries have been affected by the disaster. the e.u. is set to scale down its anti migrant trafficking operation in the mediterranean sea and rescue missions from operation saffir will be suspended the violence will continue if this isn't the same to resolving their dispute with its only robot threatened to halt the entire mission unless rescued migrants were taken to other

in trouble president reggie time demands ruling party faces a stiff challenge sunday's vote is being seen as a referendum on his role d.w.i. turkey correspondent yulia han has. intimate a local politician with a very familiar. with. this tea house in the town of east envoy is more crowded than usual. because today. is making a can paint visit so long that it or it was not there on this ridge of tired out on his twenty years old in the political newcomer in turkey's local elections he wants to become a monk to a neighborhood chief he's not related to the turkish president but the name he says has helped him with his career choices somewhat in the mood of the audience people often don't believe me at first and ask if i'm joking on the net i get it you know then i showed them my id card it's an honor for me to have the same name as our

president on this because i'm a he's the respected and beloved leader of our country so you're lumbered what about people say they will vote for me. both because of my personality and my name that is i believe this name will help me six yards and more donovan in honor of. edwin's namesake the president is also complaining hard. he's making several speeches a day excuse dryly is. even though he's not up for election. and one is hoping his own personal popularity will help make the difference because after a decade and a half in power his ruling party is facing losses. to hit that out of there that's mainly because of the worsening economic situation last year's currency crisis sent annual inflation soaring to about twenty percent and sept growth unemployment is on the rise. not just here in istanbul

people are now queuing for subsidized vegetables in state run markets solid growth and rising living standards have driven the president the electoral success in the past sixteen years but now. well turkey is in the midst of a recession and many voters say they're frustrated about the economy polls suggest this could erode support for adams ruling eight hypoxia especially in the largest cities in the capital ankara and here in istanbul. losing them would be a symbolic blow says journalist is most simas both cities have been under a.k.p. control throughout and once time in power water for its own quarter of a stumble is that opposition wins istanbul ankara we may begin to discuss the possibility of snap elections here in turkey. istanbul is strongly associated with the. first he was elected as municipal mayor here then he became mayor of istanbul . after that prime minister and then president. if is

a k.p.s. defeated in istanbul it would be a political earthquake. on them when i get. back to the tea house where the younger one is trying to win some votes he also he has many complains about the economy. people don't have jobs it's become very hard for shop owners nothing is good here anymore nothing. the young owen says he wants to tackle these problems at least in his neighborhood but he can't be sure victory as he's facing two challenges much is at stake in the local elections both reject type it's. a report from. joins us now from istanbul welcome mr his party controlled most of the media as they suppose it is of the state from the police the army and the civil service so is the result of sunday's vote

a foregone conclusion. not necessarily it's of course hard to tell what will happen on election day because polls here in turkey are considered to be notoriously unreliable but right now they do suggest a sharp fall in support for president add on's a.k.p. and not to landslides victory as we did see in the last local elections here five years ago much of the focus is now on the big cities here in turkey and we might actually see some surprises there the capital ankara might get for the first time in sixteen years an opposition mayor and here in istanbul is symbol which is considered to be the biggest prize in these early elections or we might see a tight race between president at once candidates and the opposition i won a vote. the economy the economy and the economy many voters are complaining that their personal economic

situation has worsened in the past year and employment is at a nine year high inflation is a twenty percent and many things basically from baby diapers to vegetables got so much more expensive i've talked to a few people here let's have a listen to what they had to say it's begun a little earlier if maybe others really used to do a grocery shopping with fifty liras but now we have to spend one hundred fifty. everything's terrible but they say everything is fine we'll go fold. the economy is not doing well everyone goes shopping with their credit cards there's no cash in the cycle so an economy took to school i don't think the economy is to yes there's a crisis now. this can't be changed for the better. the economy has collapsed our external debt is huge but apparently half of the

population is dreaming a nice dream they don't see the truth. our money has lost its value and. how our president and his party addressing people's economic fears well the president is in fact campaigning as if this vote was about himself he's talking about palestinians in gaza and he's also trying to discredit the opposition blaming them for collaborating with terrorists and all these elections likely to be free and fair. well in the past elections already the opposition has been complaining about vote rigging and irregularities so this is probably going to be an issue again especially in the south east eastern part of

this country and so is a fantasist airline and his a.k.p. control the state resources and most of the media here are now owned by companies close to the government so opposition candidates were given much less air time than the hippies candidates of governments candidates and some kind of has even got zero at time and this has been criticized in postelection already by international observers as well. thank you. british lawmakers discussed the back steps in their efforts to leave the european union the e.u. parliament is also been discussing threats that he were officials briefed lawmakers on last week's summit member states of the britain two new options for an orderly exit comparing the u.k. to the famously mysterious egyptian sphynx. commission president said it remains unclear what london will do you counsel president to dog. lawmakers to give more

time to rethink its position. you cannot betray the six million people who signed a petition to revoke article fifty. that one million people. will march for a people's vote all the increasing much already of people who want to remain in the european union. they may feel that they are not sufficiently represented by their you can't balance but they must feel that they are represented by you in this chamber because they are europeans thank you. straight to strasburg than we do and i didn't just go masses welcome i go i'm strong words there from donald tusk. absolutely and look donald tusk is known to be an emotional speaker he makes no secret of the fact that he thinks the u.k. should state should change its mind and seeing that he breaks the tears are now

falling in line behind to reason mace plan beyond her deal shows that there is a fear among the tears that there may be ofter all no press it at all that the remains site suddenly gets a momentum and for that momentum that would like to see more time so long extension and do you think that lawmakers are likely to heed his words. i think frankly there is no so secret that there is a proxy for teak and it's pretty much has reached its peak and so yes it would be unconvenient if the u.k. suddenly participates after all in the european elections the french president has said he's not in much in favor of a long extension but after all the u.k. e.u. summit last week has made that suggestion that that offer is on the table and i think so what all toasty refers to is some any piece on the remains side on the pro european side who have said look if the u.k. would fall out if it would be a hot breakfast that would be

a showcase that leaving the european union is just a bad idea and what else have you lawmakers been saying about pressing for a. while there is the chief directive negotiator of the european parliament for instance who has said he's a little less optimistic that donald tusk and he believes that remain has no chance but that after a couple of years the u.k. were returned to the family of e.u. nations so there are some positive was here from a number of any piece and finally that was set downs from the labor party and i mean who said thank you donnell to use your message as well received and we're grateful for it as i go back to say in strasbourg thank you. a discovery that a shocked people in the city of brest during construction work on an apartment complex buildings on a mass grave can take in the midst of the remains of more than a thousand jews killed by the nazis during world war two a work was halted on the

remains have now been exhumed but there's controversy following the author says decision to resume construction the w.c. was. bones jewelry and even shoes the past is pushing into the light. this is the site of a mass grave of jews shot by the nazis it was found during construction work in the center of breast during the german occupation in the second world war the area was a jewish ghetto tens of thousands were executed in and around breasts during that time the site is currently closed off to the public including to local historian every lover of sky she has been petitioning to stop the building work and argues there should be a memorial park here and not an apartment complex. people shouldn't be able to live on the spot of a mass execution half of the population of the city was killed within several days

a well tended to area in the center they used to be unsightly houses here when it should be tidy and beautiful this isn't the first time that builders a fun bones during construction in the historical center but not everyone impressed agrees that should be apartments on the mass graves. it will be time to build houses there should be a memorial instead. of the world here we have to find a civilized way to solve this problem after all every city in europe is built on people's bones. arena is determined to see the site of the mass grave with her own eyes the forward becomes a landscape courtyard and acquaintance of hers is a direct from her window she says the building project shows that the bella russian authorities are insensitive and haven't learned any lessons from the past well of russian authorities have been criticised before for building on jewish cemeteries as recently as twenty seventeen already. in this country the authorities only

respect the memory of the soviet protectors of the breast fortress for example of soldiers who fought unequally to tell a tarion country with weapons in their hands that they respect. the russian. the construction company had told us the apartment complex would be a gated community now city authorities insist the grounds will be open to the public. a militia i've been reporting from belarus german football fans were disappointed earlier this month when by munich dortmund and shell or crashed out of the champions league black tonight it may be a repeat of last season's final but resources are still nothing compared to the men's game. well spoke suffered a tight two one defeat in the first leg and leon but the next round is up for grabs most women have top international talents with five german internationals joined by denmark pinella hard yeah the european championship banner up and by able to your
