nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution we put the issue up for debate with journalist madam saleh thirty harmeet from the council of ex muslims of britain. well why do i have to respect laws when i go to another country and when for example even as a veiled person i insulted i am stopped at airports just because i am a muslim woman because i choose to wear the his job and this is something that is not mandatory for me this is something that i choose and this is part of women's freedom people who are standing against this only in order to i think promote the moderates is just. not for one moment she even considered the women thrown into prison. tortured raped by prison guards for choosing to remove you don't ever speak up for them you're not full you have value when you go when you are many of those women's voices because it doesn't fit your narrative you refusing to you're just lying about the about you know being made to take off your veil it's not an issue of lying look i don't know if i have the chance to talk to talk right now but you as a person you are insulting at least hal

french authorities is about putting pressure on these journalists to break their professions and most saleh. to reveal their sources show that even ski ulti paris. mention french authorities in turn of closely insisted this weapon is being used for defensive purposes only while the saudi led coalition is sultanas any deliberate targeting of civilians in yemen political journalist and elizabeth military gives her thoughts on the leak and why it seems to cause such concern for the french government. i don't think there's any kind of secret that french weapons are being used in yemen and you could very well argue the government has been saying this and preaching about this that since the the civil war in yemen was started by rebels against illegally installed government with the support of a foreign power iran this is indeed in defense of the state it's a member of the us it's the position of a number of people from your america britain saudi arabia etc i think what's different in this specific instance is the detailed nature of the report which is fascinating reading but it also ate meat make

then came up -- to juries army chief of tangible -- athlete guide saleh said last week he expected members of the ruling elite in the country to be prosecuted for corruption. sedans knew how army rule is up on monday or to protest is to dismantle that barricades on roads leading to the military headquarters as tensions grew. after talks between the two sides broke down. demonstrators accuse the rhythm and she council being that'll different from veterans and she was talking by the army on april eleventh for the months o of streetet proteststs. the young woman who's become the figurehead the persistence of down it's been speaking to our correspondent in khartoum. two two year old alice alice says it's time for women in sit down to take a full r role. in t the s society. protesters according full of quality for a parliament. with at least 40% of women guaranteed. these women want revenge for the victims of c. dance revolution thousands come out to kerr team streets every day. and one among them has become a symbol of the country after the publication of this photo. unknown just a few weeks a

hardcore of the beautifully supporters remain in their positions and that includes the army chief saleh now given everything that we're seeing on social media and speaking to analysts and. it's likely that the focus now that president is going to resign will go on to the army chief called solly and he will come under tremendous amount of pressure from the protesters because he's seen as somebody that will want the continuity of the government which many protest leaders are suggesting that means that it's just the old guard in a new form so expect his name to be bandied around over the next few days or so certainly on friday where the big protests happen i'm sure you'll see placards with his name on them you know i mean i'm on the process is obviously wants to see the end of all the so-called old guards in the cabinet but what realistically all of a hoping they're going to achieve over the next couple of weeks because we're going to have to see some sort of a a transition all the way from the beautifully caray into the next one. well there's a constitutional provision for that now what h

algeria so this is why they've been asking gates to move and as a matter of fact i think that if gates saleh the chief of the army chief of staff moves and resign it will be it will be very good for him and. you know he would be remembered as this great. general who made a historic. bet i think it is time for him to resign and if the president was on twitter he would see things like this this is chris who writes nothing is new under the sun the military will take over and bring back some rogues belonging to the old man's political party things will get worse and algeria and less democratic forces are really vigilant so that raises a few questions that another person in our community a former gaston a woman you heard just at the top of today's show yes i mean i loose here's the question she raised what we're seeing now is the transition and headed now by. the head of the national people's council and. now the little question surrounding the rule of the military to going to last until. and also what type of transition. to be reflective of the democratic aspirations of people. going to be and t

ok let's discuss this further now with journalist saleh. saudi humming it is a spokesperson for the council of exposed limbs of britain welcome to you both if i may come to you first mario so we heard the activists are getting more western women. in iran the claim is they support a discriminatory law and therefore in so women who are fighting against it what's your opinion. why do i have to respect the laws when i go to another country and when for example even as a veiled person i am insulted i am stopped at airports just because i am a muslim woman because i choose to wear the his shop and this is something that is not mandatory for me this is something that i choose and this is part of women's freedom and if we want to go into the conversation about the issue of freedom and fair think there's a lot of things that we can we can say about that when we talk about iran iran what was based on an after the one nine hundred seventy nine revolution everybody knows that it was a people's revolution and this people's revolution made way for a refe

house chairman ben sana as interim president after unrelenting protests force defeated to resign ben saleh who is seventy seven years old will take over the reins until new elections are held within ninety days has been chosen in accordance with the constitution but is part of the former presidents in a circle and the political establishment that people want to remove. who knew that it was your father the constitutional duty in this particular circumstance makes me carry a heavy duty of responsibility and it will be by the grace of god in his health that leads to the achievement of the ambitious goals sought by the algerian people i need everyone joining this period to apply strictly the constitution to work hard faithfully and with dedication in order to return the word to the people to take his decision and to choose the elected president to lead the country. thousands have been back out on the streets to voice their anger appointment they also big questions about how algeria is powerful military will react the protesters want a complete overhaul of the political establishment and some a

article want to it's going to be ninety days with the chairman of one of the houses of parliament then saleh will kind of. lead this transition but what is key is that it date certain has been set up and you know that the opposition and the protesters designate who they want to be a part of the new government because you know what if there's not a big date certain set and if there's no opposition leader or younger race you could be looking at an indefinite postponement of elections led by the same people who've been leading in the background for the last five years which is obviously exactly what the protesters don't want calvin dark international affairs analyst joining us from washington sir thank you thank you. britain's prime minister has offered to sit down with the leader of the opposition to try to break the deadlock over breaks in the u.k. is due to leave the e.u. in just ten days but so far parliament has not agreed on a withdrawal agreement threes it may says she will ask for a further extension to avoid crashing out without a deal despite the best efforts of m.p.'s the process tha

solution so those two courses are going in the wrong direction yes we have we have the president there saleh who is running the country for twenty days and preparing the elections on the fourth of july and on the other side you have the protesters they don't want to bend they don't want the imminence of the former president fabulous his beautifully to prepare the transition and to prepare the elections so here is the problem and for the tenth executes if we you know dad and the only the only success there is to get that head off. that and they are seated ruling the country and they don't want that rich people going on trial over allegations of corruption and compared to the average algerian they are wateringly wealthy these are properly well off people will that be enough for the protests not really because you know the pilot is due if you people know this is a good sign from the military you know to. the courts you know to to to to put dispy put on trial you know the bigger nets the family etc. they want you know a transition to a democratic country to disagree and. so and you know for them

and i can state today and yesterday we saw it again with the declaration of chief of staff ghaith saleh as that the military are still. the locus of power in algeria they are not governing but they are ruling as actually historian mohammed had to be stated once to read it rightly he said all states in the world have an army and in an area the army has a state and i think this is still true today and the algerians are bit scared of that because while they recognize the positive role that the military has been player playing they don't want to gates to become what sisi became in egypt so they want also the military to step back and to come back to their barracks and they don't want to go as a matter of fact when i marched with the jury and saw on march twenty second and on the march twenty ninth their slogans were very clear they chanted the door here built. which means go go boots and take with you gates. jamila did thought it was few what's your view on this and the army's position here because if they are trying to paint themselves as kind of the guardian of the people in this but also

kasem has been detained and her other son saleh was killed by israeli forces in december. this really army says and asked them killed two of its soldiers and injured a pregnant woman who lost her baby during two separate shooting attacks in the occupied west bank. but she says she knew nothing about her son's intentions and her rest was a way to pressure the family. they threatened to kill my sons and portis my husband said that me being in jail doesn't even compare to everything else the family has been through and that's because the family has already seen both also homes being demolished by the israelis their militia of houses against those israel accuses of committing attacks against that as a few units of measure is not a new policy however human rights organizations say that other forms of collective punishment their eyes in the search for also the israeli forces that as did several of his friends and family members. the army says the detention is for interrogation during which they submit a secret file to the judge only those arrests are often meant to put pressure

demonstrators are keeping up their a sit in outside the military headquarters in hard to despite president salehand bashir being deposed last week they now fear security forces are planning to break up their camps earlier the ruling military council political parties to agree on an independent civilian figure to be interim prime minister best shearers party is banned from joining any transitional government. let's get some analysis speak to him he's a research associate at the school of oriental and african studies is joining us here in the city oh thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera says we're saying we just heard from representatives from the sudanese professionals association once again calling for immediate civilian rule what we know that the military is saying this can take up to two years this transition period. can they meet in the middle what happens with this that's just happened to be doing this is it because people across the country. united you know behind you know having a million civilian in a frisbee and kind of some sort of other because actually revolt and i should have a st

it will put more pressure on the military establishment to try to build bridges between other been saleh who is now officially the interim president of algeria between the key opposition figures and the protesters that we see now on the streets dissatisfied with the outcome of the decision why was this individual choice and why was look at have been so or why was he nominated because the consideration says in the case of a vacancy then the constitutional council convenes and then the parliament's with two terms with two thirds of the votes the elects the chair the president of the senate. the upper house in the parliament who happens to be. in this and i'm the government somehow over the last few years particular when. it was beautifully became frail he was the man greeting presidents guests coming over to algeria and representing in many events of the last was basically the arab league summit which took place in tunisia so he is widely seen by the establishment as the. normal outcome of this transition to words democracy but i have to say that algerians over the last few weeks since the

and i can states today and yesterday we saw it again with the declaration of chief of staff ghaith saleh as that the military are still. the locus of power in algeria they are not governing but they are ruling as actually historian mohammed had to be stated once to read it rightly he said all states in the world have an army and in an area the army has a state and i think this is still true today and the algerians are bit scared of that because while they recognize the positive role that the military has been player playing they don't want to gates to become what sisi became in egypt so they want also the military to step back and to come back to their barracks and they don't want to go as a matter of fact when i marched with the jury and saw on march twenty second and on the march twenty ninth their slogans were very clear they chanted their offer or here beautifully how dramatically gates which means go go boots and take with you gates. jamila did thought it was few what's your view on this and the army's position here because if they are trying to paint themselves as kind of the guard

algeria so this is why they've been asking gates to move and as a matter of fact i think that if gates saleh the chief of the army chief of staff moves and resign it will be it will be very good for him and. you know he would be remembered as this great. gennaro who made a historic. bet i think it is time for him to resign. if the president was on twitter he would see things like this this is chris who writes nothing is new under the sun the military will take over and bring back some rogues belonging to the old man's political party things will get worse and algeria and less democratic forces are really vigilant so that raises a few questions that another person in our community a former gaston a woman you heard just at the top of today's show yes i mean i loose here's the question she raised what we're seeing now is the transition and now by. the head of the national people's council and. now the little question surrounding . the military. and also what type of transition. to be reflective of the democratic aspirations of people. going to be and then reflect who says you know dreams have.

those who think as resignation and the removal of the entire political elite the army chief of staff saleh wants beautifully cut to be declared unfit for office as some had about as joining us from tunis keeping an eye out on developments in algeria so to what extent is the announcement of the new caretaker government a concession by the president will basically people were hoping to see the whole government sachs and replaced by independent people with this or that announcement surprise announcement by i was able to take a government led by a lot of the embeds away who is one of the most trusted. people of his entourage he served as a minister of interior before becoming prime minister they said this is a clear indication of the president. is determined to cling to power and this explains the backlash the the the people we saw yesterday on the streets of zeroes denouncing that announcement many opposition figures human rights activists came out today saying basically this is this is a slap into the face of democracy to set up the government and i think this is an indication of a more of a

algeria so this is why they've been asking gates to move and as a matter of fact i think that if gates saleh the chief of the army chief of staff moves and resign it will be it will be very good for him and. you know he would be remembered as this great. general who made a historic. bet i think it is time for him to resign. if the president was on twitter he would see things like this this is chris who writes nothing is new under the sun the military will take over and bring back some rogues belonging to the old man's political party things will get worse and algeria and less democratic forces are really vigilant so that raises a few questions that another person in our community a former gaston a woman you heard just at the top of today's show yes i mean i loose here's the question she raised what we're seeing now is the transition and headed now by. the head of the national people's council and. now the last question surrounding the role of the military after going to the last. and also what type of transition. to be reflective of the democratic aspirations of people. going to be and then
