seeing some localized flooding as we go not only for monday but also for tuesday as well temps of tunis at $27.00 degrees algiers at 29 but the sun is coming up with a temperature of 24. ah 3 months of protests on an unprecedented scale that would virtually paralyzed hong kong what began as opposition to an extradition or escalated into a broader pro-democracy movement so how and why did this crisis develop and what would follow in the 2nd of 2 special reports people in power examines the cool suits and possible consequences of hong kong summer of defiance on al-jazeera also one of our biggest strengths is that we talk to normal everyday people we get them to tell their stories and doing that really reveals the truth people are still gathered outside these gates waiting for any information most of them don't know whether their loved ones are alive or dead or miami really is a place worth 2 worlds meet we can get to washington d.c. in 2 hours we can get so on jurists in the rest of central america about the same time but more importantly is where those 2 cultures north and south america

on sunday with 26 candidates to choose from stephanie decker has more from tunis. today says will be electing a new president on sunday that was here that thousands of people 8 years ago came out to the streets demanding change or they managed to get rid of what they called the dictator the man who was in charge of this country for over 20 years but many people now will tell you that even though yes there is some form of democracy when it comes to the politics that nothing has really changed on the ground issues that they will fight the economy there is unemployment and demick corruption and also security issues so we've been talking to the people here on the streets of the capital to see what they have to say. how much of this candidate will bet candidate but what i hope is that economically speaking and socially we will improve is pushing the youth i am a young doctor and i don't have a job a graduate of 4 years ago. we need something new really new not just lies and promises we love tunisia it's our country we don't want them to win the chair and we just stay in
