at the moment. no restaurant in c caracas thank you very much indeed. of course to be old about women set from venezuela as we get them. next protests a growing against algeria's veteran president. standing for re election not to se his booooted feet is eighty twtwo he suffefered a stroke crs say succumb a figurehead for a corrupt group of people managing the presidency. process to say the state is not being run by the military -- diflucan made it known he'll not serve a full term if re elected for what would be a fifth time. hasn't imprints the protest as many saying that because unfit to govern. due to his continued ill health. the one to new leader but not just because they think the eighty two year old president is unfit to lead. is also growing unease about the few and rising resentment of a corruption. more than one in ten algerians unemployment and among the young

this figure is far higher. this matters because the average age o of the population is tweny two years old. it's young people in particular who is taking part in the rat protests. previously the government is maintain stability by creating affordable housing hunting l. generous loans and investing in infrastructure. but it't's o over spends algeris a huge fiscal deficits and the value o of its imports excxceeds that of its exports. this now little money to sustain the projects and schemes that kept dissatisfaction at bay. the government can no longer solely relying on oill t to funt spending. a few years ago oil prices began to drop the slumpmp h has slowed downwn here is a call mee down o almost to stand still. in addition to their economic woes people also angry about corruption. in recent years various scandals have led to the sacking of several top officials. protested see corruption as an endemic problem what's the

current president has failed to stop over full terms in office. so we see the angeger down the ststreets of via algae is capitl of algeria at the issue regarding the decision by a president beautifully could to stand again for what will be a fifth. term as president to bring in michael willis from walks university he's a fellow that in the mediterranean studies michael thank you very much for being with us -- in some ways to the store in separate fact from fiction on his health and clear mindedness but some do you think that you should have genuine concerns about his continued presence. on the presidential stage. i did these continued concerns i i i think they they have beat it is being the situation for lost six years since he had a stroke in -- twenty thirteen in one sense where basically a repeat of what happened five years ago when he

decided to stand for a fouourth termrm despitete not being ableo campaign despite not really be able to stand all speak and have great difficulty actually doing with the formal swearing in. so. what people are concerned about is if he isn't involved in running the country the officials claim but he's still ? man who is actually running the country and who's making the key decisions nothing backs at the bottom of the concerns indeed he was interest them does it serve to have beautiful because still. as president. i think basically it's a it's a compromise a it avoids up setting this of delicate equilibrium of power between various individuals and groups that that the top of the political leadership -- who fail anything you think that was brought in that would upset things power would shift in different ways so in one sense booted lakers being quite -- to convenience they get to have their because he doesn't seem to be playing much of a role -- but he's able to be a figurehea-

while others continue to exercise influence and again what exactly back influences when i'm showing a lot of people most people algeria feeling happy they don't know who is actually making the key decisions and did you speak to any algerian they'll give you. their own particular view on whwhat's actually happened i should say typical to really pinpoint precisely -- what the problem is however people unhappy about one thing in particular which is? corruption that would comes up time and again -- i was i think it is corruption has been a problem -- algieri has made a lot of money and make that you all of its foreign currency earnings from oil and gas sales. and they have been used to good effect but inevitably significant slices of act have disappeared there have beeeen cocorruption scandals that have grown more and more - -- andd i think peoplee got normal set up with thiss t that p partr given as your pollll that mentioned but withh the reportig the p price o of oilil. andd algeria spending beyond its

apparent means at ththe moment. ththe algeriaian the popopulatio be entering a rather difficult fight. indeed. which leads me to my final question sir always seeing in algeria today almost an a arab spring scenario do you think. i think what we're sayining is unprecedented number off people cocoming on the streets tens of thousands of people coming on to the streets of all the major. the major cities i'm prorotestig against it the algerians and sounds. never like to be compared to the the rest of the rest of ththe region they like to thinings thingsgs that don diffeferently- back in twentyty eleven wh very little hapappens in algeriaa algierss seals it runsns by itsn rhythm and clelearly this is beg motivadd by the decision by. ability to defeat all the decision on behalf of that let's see if we got to to run for things that -- but this is very substantial there peoplple dememonstrating y in day out even through bill

last night though big demonstrations and there is a big -- mobilization building i'm also almost exclusively peaceful it's quite remarkable and i think it's gonna be very difficult for the poliliticall leaders from algeria. to resist making significant changes michael willis of ox university thank you so very much indeed she on your analysis with a c. on fronts my cat we do appreciate it. of course we'll keep an eye on all developments in algeria. forty next image you sources say this is now the end game for the islamic state group. in syria troops are closing in on the town of baku's the last stand of the jihadist near its final moments. one hundred and fifty isis fighters surrounded left the town along with three hundred fifty civilians falling a bottle full of vital patch of ground. those that remain in by becausee of t that it's on the stood reay to fight to the death. the vice president emmanuel macron has launched his campaign for the european elections by outlining his plans for a revamped e. u. now this include.
