Anger frustration and growing concern in tehran as people protested against a 200 percent increase in fuel prices the many simply turned off their engines on major highways across the city to show their disappointment at the sudden decision to raise petrol prices overnight. As heavy snow blanketed the capital people still lined up at the gas stations to fill up before the full remarks this is not a wise decision considering our horrible economy and sanctions we are under its a cruel decision because it wont affect the wealthy people only the poor people will pay the price.

That many people here fear that this decision could have far reaching consequences it stems from a number of issues while iran has huge Energy Reserves its refining capability is limited and that makes it difficult to get fuel to the pumps. The government is also fighting fuel smuggling to neighboring countries thats because iran has some of the cheapest prices in the world due to its heavy subsidies and a weak currency the economy here has been struggling for years but since the United States withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal last year and reimpose a series of new sanctions on iran things have been getting much worse inflation is just over 40 percent with unemployment rates at over 14 percent officials here say that this fuel price increase will help people but its proving very difficult to convince ordinary iranians door so to pary aljazeera town.

Friends friends andrew has spoken publicly about his relationship with an 8 sex offender Geoffrey Epstein the duke of york admitted to letting down there while family by staying at epsteins home after he was convicted some critics say the interview could backfire as katherine stansell reports but at the time an unprecedented interview with a Senior Member of the British Royal family and his connections with the convicted sex offender Prince Andrew spoke to u. K. Media about american billionaire Jeffrey Epstein you were staying at the house and convicted sex offender at the end of the day. With the benefit of hindsight that one could have. It was definitely the wrong thing to do. But at the time i felt it was the people stick on the right thing to do and i kick myself for the day. Because it was not something that was becoming a member off only american billionaire Jeffrey Epstein hung himself in his jail cell in august while awaiting trial he was accused of sexually exploiting and abusing dozens of underage girls in 2008 epstein was convicted of soliciting sex from underage girls despite this Prince Andrew remained friends with epstein he went before the cameras to try to rescue his reputation but royal watchers believe his interview may make matters worse thats thats i think that this interview will be a trainwreck i think that it will have the effect of putting far more pressure than his already experienced on Prince Andrew while aided to visit a convicted sex offender why did he find it convenient to stay with him and why on earth should the queens 2nd some think that this was all on rable way to behave which it wouldnt be for any human being Virginia Roberts giuffre says she was one of Geoffrey Epsteins underage victor. And she says she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew 3 times she says she met you in 2001 she says she dined with you danced with you at night club in london she went on to have sex with you in a house in belgravia a longing to go and marks on your friend your response i have no recollection of ever me she slowed. Down so i dont remember meeting her this is Prince Andrew with the woman he says he cant remember meeting his lack of recollection is a departure from the denials issued in the past from the investigations that weve done you cant prove whether or not that photograph is faked or not because it is a photograph of a photograph of a photograph so its very difficult to be able to to to to prove it but. I dont remember of ever being told from Buckingham Palace has always denied the allegations against Prince Andrew calling them false and without foundation this was a very carefully orchestrated interview that took place here and it was sanctioned by the queen herself this is the 1st time Prince Andrew has spoken so directly about his relationship with epstein but the way he handled the interview may well lead to more questions than answers catherine stansell al jazeera london. Lebanons former finance minister has withdrawn his name from contention for the role of Prime Minister Mahmoud Safadi said it would have been difficult to form a harmonious cabinet in a statement he added that he hoped outgoing Prime Minister saad hariri would be renominated for the position where protesters in lebanon have been on the streets for almost a month among their long list of demands is electricity Stephanie Decker has a report from beirut. There making a point of being here around the clock the 24 hour protest calling for 24 hours of electricity the problem is we dont have 24 hours electricity provided by the government this is you took. You to this fact we have each person has to have it house we have to have a generator to fill the gap where we dont have electricity. So we will end up being. Extra city so the electricity is 6 hours of electricity the government electricity and we have provided for that electricity for our eating our money literally the reform of the Electricity Sector is part of caretaker Prime Minister saad how do these reform plan but with the ongoing political stalemate those reforms are as abstract as the idea of an interrupted electricity let alone has had functioning 24 hour electricity since before the civil war thats before 900 75. 00 thats why everyone has to rely on alternative sources and that translates to a mass crisscrossed electricity cables running streets and its like this across most parts of the country this couple tells us the situation is unbearable. Your government doesnt provide enough electricity to your house why we have to use generators but if you go to the areas with politicians leave electricity is of 24 sevenths so they. Dont feel our problems as they dont leave in a blackout the demand of those on the streets government supplied uninterrupted 24 hour electricity for all its a demand that isnt new my parents have been asking the same you know its insane that my parents 3040 years ago have the same. Things that they need the same things i would asking right now you know we pay taxes what we get nothing in return our roads arent functioning well the government the ministries on functioning well and yet the people are surviving and yet the people are still here still working imagine how much more productive they can be when the government gives them just their basic Living Standards electricity is just one of a long list of grievances including Water Infrastructure and Waste Management were told that decades of widespread corruption and mismanagement means that hardly anything works here the way it should Stephanie Decker aljazeera beirut.

We will leave the e. U. On the 29th of march 2000. Its made to raise a lot but it also makes a serious point about the conservatives failing to deliver bricks it when they said they would this online video is the work of momentum the Grassroots Movement that supports labor leader Jeremy Corbett one example of how Political Parties are using eye catching Digital Content in the battle for undecided voters and Boris Johnsons conservatives are firing back with a series of memes all with a similar message but with different treatments depending on whom theyre aimed at showing top and ben gearin the young new zealand is behind many of them were hired off to helping australias center right liberal party score an unexpected election victory this year were posting 30 posts a day and more than 20250 a week that means you have to generate and publish a new piece of content every 20 minutes.

Under 30 fives and i actually its got more of a sort of retro cool eightys vibe to it where its actually quite polished and well crafted in the way that your city uses. The visual language of the internet in quite a quite nice way for the digital Team Momentum the emphasis is on spreading content with real people talking about their lived experience of issues Like Health Care but they say theyll continue to put out satirical videos too you can talk very seriously about the things this government has done you can talk seriously about things like grand fell into it seriously about things you know like excess deaths as a result of austerity but then you can also talk reverently because i think you know people are just always communicating one time in their communicating and so many in this campaign were seeing online content thats generating lots of laughs and then were seeing content thats getting laughed at now some experts say what really matters is simply that people are engaging with the outputs but are those sounding alarm bells. I think the important thing is that in trying to get those simple catchy messages across they dont lose sight of the importance of being honest with the electorate because sometimes the simple message isnt necessary the most accurate message well i cant hide it from you ive been thinking a bit about this general Election Campaign whats clear is more than ever before the search for hearts and minds is happening online as much as it is on doorsteps the aljazeera london.
