mr dylan can you hear me. mr merely really ok i'll and i will repeat the question no no problem i was saying the absolutely the release of the indian pilot by pakistan was supposed to. tension have you seen any signs that that is actually happened. yes or. ok i. understood mr di a lot we're going to. well we're going to pause for just a moment hopefully be able to get a better connection to you still ahead on al-jazeera. for the next generation. of politicians. hello there are things of pretty stormy weather across parts of europe at the moment particularly the satellite picture we can see the cloud approaching from the northwest as well is going to bring us some pretty wild weather they could be winds gusting as much as one hundred fifty kilometers per hour thanks to that system as it sweeps its way across us even on monday is just working its way up towards parts of scandinavia and this so plenty of wet and windy weather following it so for many of us in the northwestern parts of europe this weather will be something of a shock a real change from what we've been seeing recently where had some windy but at least it's not too cold for the top temperature of around ten in london for the southeastern parts of europe there is still fine and settled we're looking at sixty eight in vienna at around fourteen in bucharest in this should be some good spells of sunshine here now a bit further towards the south of there's a few bits and pieces of cloud around here that may just give us one or two showers but i think predominantly we're looking at some dry weather for most places and for a bass it should be fairly pleasant with a top temperature of nineteen degrees of over the towards the south in the showers a pushing their way up now so we'll see more of them over parts of west africa i think lagos will see quite a few of those during the day temperatures making it to thirty one though despite the showers and there will also be plenty of showers for the east as well and quite a few forests in lee prevail. it does look more and more like bangladesh is becoming a one party state give me one good reason why the opposition should have been able to do something the problem of human rights watch describes how opposition members have been arrested children even disappeared. he goes head to head with. it. is disputing the economic. development is not the same as democracy. on al-jazeera. watching out to syria let's recap the top stories right now the u.s. and south korea have agreed to and major joint military exercise in order to support future talks with pyongyang nuclearization the drills have been a major point of contention with north korean leader kim jong. il's have been hell for the victims of the recent fighting in the disputed kashmir region at least seven people were killed on saturday and cross border shelling between india and pakistan. continued to discuss that story. as the former head of india spy agency as a member of the national security adviser he joins us live from new delhi so. the release of the pilot the indian pilot by pakistan it's saying that the intent was to to tensions have you seen signs that that is working. the. gesture on the part of the prime minister of pakistan it should lead to. d.s. . relation but at the same time. you know of the on the line of control b. we've seen in the last couple of days considerable hotting up a lot of firing on both sides but this is a normal phenomenon i'd say it's not anything new it's the line of control hot subs from time to time and likewise we have operations like the one in which was on for the last three days because. there is considerable terrorism in english being and. the fact is that sadly it does come from across i'm not seeing all of it. some of it is in the indigenous and the again unfortunately the indigenous part has been growing in the last couple of years but pakistan is also not helping matters by sending. terrorists across the jazz for instance. which had. a couple of years law most died out at least in kashmir is back in full force and so is the list which also comes from pakistan. so that is the situation that we have all fully take will cool down. but there really is not all right so hopefully things will calm down absolutely but there is still fighting going on there still is an election coming up there still is the possibility of a politics playing a role in this can you see this perhaps escalating still when you know when you say . well you said five doing good in law and it is sliding across the line of control there's no. law that fly doing that is going on between india and it is sliding across the line no control. which is more than normal you know that is true and like i said. he should go to be a force. for to be five or. better military forces while blown up those who go to the forces have up the and they are looking for terrorists wherever they can find them in the valley most of the action has been in the south but this all but is from that was a frog to a little while ago is in the water which means that you know the spread is pretty wide. yes sir mr jay thank you so much for

scrap metal people take this and sell it and use the money to buy food and then take the food back to the other side. of it miss says he makes several of these trips every day and is lucky to make twelve thousand vessels for the effort that's the equivalent of about four u.s. dollars. people cross over to sell scrap metal because there are no jobs no security this keeps them going there's a heavy military presence along the colombian side of the border but officers tell us they're only here to keep the peace not prevent people from moving freely between the two countries and if it's challenging crossing the border through the river it's challenging this bridge serves as the official border crossing and is usually bustling with pedestrian traffic but a week ago venezuelan officials set up barricades to prevent international aid from entering the country through colombia since then people have had to find other ways to get across the border. as many as twenty thousand

to his twenty year rule who's really in charge in algeria what is at risk for the region and its attention escalates this is inside story. hello i'm richelle carey and this is inside story welcome to the program unfit for the job that's how hundreds of thousands of algerians describe president jealousies beautifully and in large scale protests rarely seen in algeria they poured on to the streets demanding he pull out of next month's elections many say beautifully go who was eighty two on saturday is unable to perform his duties as president so will he step down or is algeria heading towards political instability we'll speak to our guests in a moment first name parker has this report. they are the biggest demonstrations in algeria in decades this is the country's capital is the era similar scenes in several other cities that demanded the country's ailing president up to lizzie's political eco withdrawals from the country's forthcoming presidential election. the student led protests have been growing in recent days ever since the eighty one year old leader issued a statement announcing his intention to run for a fifth term algerian journalists have also joined the growing demonstrations calling for greater press freedom and political reform. flicka was elected president in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine. but after suffering a debilitating stroke six years ago he's rarely seen in public and hasn't given a speech in years here he is in twenty seventy two frail to cuff his file it without health. demonstrators say he's too weak to leave. it's widely believed the country's really run by a group of military and civilian advisors who fail to find a successor to ensure the continuity of the country's leading party but national liberation front the parties repeatedly said the elections will be free and transparent where he's going to stand it is not him who really is the. it's the group behind the group in the presidency backed up by the cynical economic burns the leading business. and the army and the security. who are trying to force one regarding their own choice to guarantee no continuity in power and that's a large areas really object to beautifully kept presided over the end of the bloody algerian civil war in two thousand and two and a return to international affairs following decades of isolation. but demonstrators say it's time for algeria's longest serving head of state to retire from politics leave al-jazeera take a look at some of the key events in algeria split a call history and nine hundred sixty two the country gained its independence from france and more than one million french fled the country in one nine hundred eighty eight thousands of algerian youth took to the streets against the country's economic conditions during a major recession a decade long civil war began in one thousand nine hundred one between the algerian government and various armed islamic rebel groups tens of thousands of people were killed and then in one thousand nine hundred nine adel izzy's beautifully who was elected president and the civil war ended three years later. let's bring in our panel now in algiers via skype journalist paula in new fall a buddha executive director of the nordic center for conflict transformation also in al cheers on the line is a melba book or a socialist and researcher at the paris based school for advanced studies in the social sciences welcome to all of you on the i'm going to start with you you say that these protests were a long time coming how so a lot of us have been frustrated with the way the government that has areas that late for a long time. widespread corruption incompetence in all areas of life. but i'm curious have kept mainly silent. for twenty years you know under the table mainly because they were going to the situation was a little bit better the final straw was the announcement that. would have let us bid for reelection in a in next april. well judy i just don't want to be governor and not. know more not just what people are protesting but of little hasn't been able to normal hasn't given us short your insistence over and over again and not just boy you are focused enough even though they were first written with the government there with. so little do you agree with that as well that this has been brewing for a while yes this is what has been going for a while and i think people truer was the moment and then claim you know i think that there are sharp assume metric positions here between a new generation that does not necessarily lived the atrocities of war of independence and the civil war as well and the deep state that has been there for a long period of time i think the people chilled this moment they chose. their fate and they believe that this time they can actually win over a beautiful if they have one claim it's beautiful and they chose their their fight . before i go to mel actually follow me follow up on something you said explain how you mean the term deep state because it means different things and different countries explain what you mean when you use that term. well deep state as we understand it here in the case of algeria is also all agreed that the claim of people is not necessarily against bush would. govern him does not really govern the country there are people around who support a state of power they're pushing towards some kind of. some kind of continuation of of a state of power the way it is now so all of those deep state in my opinion in algeria are those who are behind the scenes that push in and hiding behind the beautiful to say that whatever it is in the country is because of what for what i believe the deep state here will try to do in the end if they see the protest of the jury in people who will be strong enough they are i think ready to let go but they will negotiate some kind of power settlement with the people ok. a male same question to you did you feel like that was something like this just a matter of time ari surprised. bronson that's the result of the loneliest of course but what we have with you next so far it's really a misfortune to control chanche you know it's trying to hold your hands have been asking for a chance in sixty to eighty eight months you on whatever demands of chance were taken from them to set the rigid interest in eighty eight it was like to launch reelections well then relax where where ever you want to but then we will stop it actually process you want no more military important than a little grand vicksburg of a focal fifth of presidents you want to mold social justice and we will have a run tire distribution so really self control with a keyboard in the during the construction the best weeks and that could be seen in the willingness to met the pope of self you could see family families are there in the ranks of the protesters on the most reaches happy that sorry the original i mean you could love him really that's not a revulsion from sion everybody should their retention something that you consider that where there's a real joy for a better than independence they. would feel the force to control improve the relationship between the protesters and the police you could see a lot of citizens to discuses with guns men trying to argue with them trying to come to them that they should join the ranks of the of the developed nations. as an i haven't business and i haven't so sorry even so even so protesters hurling both of the cackle in order to deceive the church days to both men for example to gays in fact dutch could be seen also in the first show although the excess amount of pollution i think does put also taken called by the algerian something approaching to be good to restore the image that the rest of the word has it has of them so they really wanted to give many of them of the major people of a major political image or people that is able to control its demands for change so one day about this this energy that she is describing why are some algerians not afraid anymore. i don't think missourians were afraid of not really government i think it was serious war most serious war probably traumatized by the memory of the civil war and the ninety's. this is why one of the main themes of these protests has been the fact that they are peaceful they are saying to the government that they want change they want that they want they are challenging the system they want two point six eight in public life in political life but they are saying it is a peaceful protest and they don't want the. situation to go wrong i don't think people are not being afraid and i think people just didn't want things to go like they did and other recently and missed all these see any similarities between what is happening now algeria and some of the arab spring countries. i think one of the similarities is the involvement like i said of deep state. did state is looking for a static of power and the new generation of young people who have different aspirations and needs and they want to change in the most peaceful way this is also to say that for every country have their own way of doing things and to pick their fights i think in algeria this time they there are now no longer afraid because they think that there is going to win and i would not be surprised if both africa step down in the next few days of few weeks and the second thing what is very important is when there are some changes in the intelligence and in the military we have seen for example but if america haven't changed many many people in the in the secret service and intelligence as well as it a military and those people have a grievances and i think there are join in or support sane people claims we need to understand that libya more it's similar to other countries as well. i'm no who are new followers mentioned as a couple times who are these these people that are who is really running the country who is it that has decided that. needs to run again even if he is incapacitated and if. whoever these people are want to maintain power so much why haven't they picked a successor to have avoided all of this i think the lack of can do so i conclude that she was released to the nature of the deep nature of the original self nine hundred ninety nine when put three o'clock going to blow to the to come back to put it in power at the idea was to make the international community forgets about war crimes committed by g. army and a secret services so they gave the image of a single president and and they did the step to the absolute and the credibility of this estate will go depleted to disfigure lips because that's it was all because that they won't be able to find a way out of that nobody will be able to replace them but i believe now that's much for the christian i think that there's no doubt that the chick i want to run again they're really christian is. is the algerian people really to accept take transitions denies from the top and control from the top has to has been to play say that if you said you've got a fake transition take chum's issues our last kind of transition on the way to come transition with controlled from the top so the idea now is not cheap talk about this economy more it's really about what are they going to do next and the girl linked to the all for to the people another comes a day from that only ranks that will be it has been that time people believe. as you do say it's a real goal of politics i'm not sure that i'll jump people we accept that they are very conscious about this. what about she she makes a good point that together may end up being somebody else replacing it a flake a bit at the core it may still all be business as usual. does the army being having so much power play a role in this i mean at one point at what point will the army ever have pulled back a little i think it has to do with how much people are willing to say of course all of the people are willing to stabilized i've seen the protests have been up into. most people and i'm not just demanding an end or. another just a dozen against with the most but for elections they want to change the regime there was a new political. oh. i don't think i don't know if the army will stay out of what's coming next but i would have started i'm not but. i would say that. if b.p. maintained this the same pressure they've been put in this past week i think the army. will have to. think rethink its position new fall if. point if people do maintain this pressure or if the pressure even escalates how do you anticipate the army responding to that. you know first of all i would like to say that the jury people have wisdom have patience and have experience and i think they're going to negotiate every step of the time now to have been clear that they want to the president a bit of a down the reaction of the army units that a lot of questions about the position of the army. especially after the reconstruction of the army and the changes that occurred in the time of but from what i would the think is that they will give a concession in my opinion of the support of the step down of but for now the question is later on how do future political future of geria will be negotiated and who would be included in that negotiation if that's exactly what was exactly going to be my question is who is right now believe it or of what is happening who is the person to to push for these changes i mean obviously there are mass protests but is there a single voice. i don't think it's yet organized the well the this protest yet there are things i believe that behind the scenes and it must be some kind of support behind the scenes i see the algerian people are confident to win this this time and they're confident that there will be a step down. i think my assumption is that those people who have been. laid off from the. intelligence and the army could be supported in people's claims but until now the protests are not organized yet strong and. amelle what what role do other countries play in this obviously there's a lot of countries that have an interest in what happens in algeria there are countries i'm sure that are concerned that what happens in algeria might spill over into other countries as we've seen with libya and some of their other neighbors what role do you see other countries playing in trying to manage what is happening in algeria algeria. yes sure i would just like to make a point just before answering that question on the village or i think it's not a problem for the army that i think it's not a real problem for the army and that's a question of this is that there's no leadership the husband or placing actually independent factors that have been trying and opposition party that has been trying to. protect the wave has to say not sure of the protest and should join in the protest and to give some leader to emerge as individual figures from the protests it's also an approach of people be arming on this because artists who have to the algae and people take a breath and then they are hoping that they will become back home there with a little get back home after having taken the breast of freedom and the most ration . the real question is about the really less of the chance to accept the same people to. come should we want to go on to live the same institutions not from stance from institutions so that will be an important point of this to see the future to all this out to a concert a question of external actions i think this is the sign as there is has to be up space that's really the u.s. and that is you are totally lost and the police committed from the people of the. middle east or not would not africa people. demand for a chance they are been taking the issues solely to the question of anti terrorism stiffle specific oswald syria and me gratian postmen i mean that's not absolutely not what is discussing to increase so if they want to be in line with the chance of going to take place in the country in the region they will have to work to connect with the people directly and to discus and maybe to cooperate on the kind of a children's institution but absolutely large to fully disclose to the elites how they have been doing for the souls of our. might some of the other. other other candidates that could. that could benefit from what is happening right now with with the protesters on wall i think the point of the protests is the. election that there are no real elections elections are not transparent. with the clintons bitter reelection was interrupted and deliberate that was difficult to get there for the physical so with that of there are serious candidates is not is not really important right now if the if the regime decides to change course there are probably will be a change can be put into account under the new election might be postponed but i understand you so what you're saying you're saying it's not even necessarily about another specific candidate it's just about this particular moment of saying it cannot be him anymore right exactly or a. new fall are you concerned that this could spiral. into any type of chaos or spiral out of control if these protesters are determined not to back down. i think conflict thoughts would sometimes in the small details and the small details can take the conflict either to a new set of cooperation or to violence i am a little bit concerned because there is a very thin line between the fantasy of stability that is offered by autocratic regime and the problems of regime change. that fine line the way it will be negotiated very important and if not all the groups who have been feeling marginalized or not heard for so many years are not included i fear that it might lead to some kind of violence and i hope that it's not going to get to that that's a great point you made a male he's basically saying there's always this push pull between stability and democracy even though they're not necessarily mutually exclusive often people play on it to make it seem like they are they think that that has what has been at play is that people have wanted stability so they put off wanting democracy but what is this to build a actually gotten them. i should say i think we should not be mistaken algerians as too willing to get at it and then up looking for evolution and if we have millions of people industry does that tweaks a lot of people have been afraid to join the protest so i think the liberal what are the stakes let's that lead to that things have them out and about the country richie and the repetition of the protest the this comes the do the wave put it says will be able to cope with the protests and to make themselves and also to have older people join even not to look cool evil eye says look a little will be a very crucial for the next week's gender focus and through all the knives themselves and of course we have seen dancers and judiciary which is trickles of lead to success of the rob spring we won't get rid of get rid of the old elites so easily but that's not the most important a multiple steps to have an agreement on the transparency of those institutions and the country and she'll be of the of of the democratic process i mean as i as the my colleagues see say that they don't want another their actions with the same candidates the launch competitions that's will make them able to have transparent elections and that's not the priority right now all right i'm onto you you sound if i retire if i'm correct it sounds you sound very confident sound a very confident that beautifully good will in fact not stand for for a fifth term but changes did i get that right was that your assessment. i don't know actually i don't know what they were. but they did over the instep that looks what i meant was the pressure of this enormous only

with an international team of scientists is determined not to let that happen without intervention to give the big i would say here to a vast now it's a race against time to try and save a species take a crisis that's in the majesty plan stave off extinction tag no zero. on counting the cost this week the secretive money working to influence the u.k.'s exit from the european union good morning vietnam will get to grips with one of southeast asia tyga cup economies plus who really benefits in the five g. telecoms are you counting the cost zero zero. diplomacy drills the u.s. and south korea and a large scale joint military exercises tensions on the korean peninsula. and we shall carry this live from doha also coming up. as tensions in the disputed kashmir region we take a look at pakistan based armed. violence plus. i'm son and i go. on a street is set to become a school for the next generation the right populist politicians. and the campaign to save a reptile in kenya that's facing extinction. south korea have agreed to and major joint military exercises on the korean peninsula the drills have been a point of contention with north korea's leader kim jong washington and seoul say it's part of efforts to reduce tensions with pyongyang but the two will still carry out smaller joint exercises in ounce when it comes just days after denuclearization talks between u.s. president donald trump. and vietnam robin fried has more from south korea's capital seoul. effectively joint military exercises in south korea have been scaled back since president donald trump announced after the single poor summit last june that he was no fan of these war games as he called them that they were a waste of money but this confirmation that key resolve and foal eagle these spring exercises involving tens of thousands of troops of war planes ships and tanks will effectively come to an end is seen as a big concession they'll be replaced by a much smaller less high profile exercises these exercises have always enraged the north koreans who see them as a possible credit to war seems the joint militaries of south korea and the u.s. of now agreed at least in part with that saying that they do indeed lead to a rise in tension that these exercises are being ended as a way of supporting the diplomatic efforts this will be welcome by president moon j.n. of south korea who's once again standing in as a possible mediator between north korea and the u.s. to get things back on track it will also possibly help his personal initiative to try to help into korean relations go move forward to the next step he has stated in the last couple of days that despite the disappointment of the hanoi summit he's still determined to try to resume economic and tourism projects with north korea we still wants to try to go ahead with that although it's difficult to see just how without getting sanctions relief from the united states our kelly is a professor of political science and diplomacy at pearson national university says the move could face objections from the u.s. congress and japan. i mean it's always a little bit if you're right because congressional authority over foreign policy is sort of not to be well sketched out in the constitution and this sort of a great deal of room for congress for example to cut funding on things it doesn't like i'm the congress were to get involved you could actually see congress pass legislation to force this or something like that i would be pretty surprised generally this falls under sort of the executive branch because it's military stuff but congress could get involved if they really want to i would imagine the japanese are a little bit nervous about this you know the japanese like the idea of the americans of which in korea and in japan the american presence in japan or in korea is something of a forward buffer you know defense buffer if you will for japan as well i think the japanese are pretty worried that donald trump isn't getting enough of the north koreans have the feeling that in japan there is some relief that hanoi sort of collapse without any major concessions on the american part but i mean as long as the tests are going including missiles flying around your japan you know it's possible they see this is a balance positive and if the north koreans were to go back to that i think we would get exercise immediately in fact i think there probably be a very harsh snap back on this more than just exercises a four day long gunfight has ended between security forces and rebel fighters and endian administered kashmir and he and soldiers launched an operation in northern babak on to try and flush out armed groups celeron has the latest from new delhi. the tension of violence across indian administered kashmir has continued for nearly a week now and while that tension remains pitch battles of also being fought between armed fighters and indian security forces the latest has lasted nearly three days in the village of hundred there apparently the encounter is now over but at its height several fighters were apparently holed up in residential properties some of those have been destroyed or caught on fire according to the indian military their press office has now confirmed that while the encounter is over at least two armed fighters were killed but more details are expected this comes off the back of nearly a week of tension between india and pakistan post the suicide attack on over forty indian paramilitaries in the warmer a bit february the escalation of course continued with an air fight between the two air forces and indian pilots captured by pakistan and released two days later but even that has not dissuaded all reduced the tension in the region areas that continue to day and night and for the moment the rhetoric from the indian prime minister is that india will not be defeated and india will continue to put the pressure on pakistan and on the international community to isolate its nuclear neighbor and welfare rolls have been hell for some of the victims of the recent fighting in the disputed kashmir region and they seven people were killed on saturday in cross border shelling between india and pakistan tensions remain high after both sides say they shot down each other's chests on wednesday. and the address between pakistan and india has brought the various armed groups operating in the disputed kashmir region out of the spotlight so are they supporting them around the parts from pakistan administered kashmir. they chillun told me it will be free this group called themselves. in the blood that holy warriors their leader is mohammad haroon he is a firebrand cleric who supports armed groups across kashmir including jaish e mohammad that's the group who claimed responsibility for the fourteenth attack on indian troops that sparked this latest crisis between pakistan and india. god willing the fighters of a bed are ready across the country ready to pounce on their targets waiting for the right time and god willing this year will be the liberation of all of kashmir. this rally takes place in front of pakistan's police who let them display weapons openly the anti indian pro united. is fundamental to all of the groups in the region india has long maintained that these groups are directly funded and directed by pakistan's intelligence service the i.s.i. it's a charge of pakistan the noise explains. who runs a think tank in kashmir they were there when did the group but it created and the credit i discovered of creating the groups go through the europe into america. created for the but because of combating the soviets in afghanistan and the moment so we are left. there rendered unemployed. and this heart that knew every news site employment that is the story of course then i guess he was betting them no doubt about that but when the bug was all to log in got by then because of that unemployment the stigmas did with the bugs dumped it but i was awarded by the they have a login lesson this is as it is it is a bad minute then as well which is giving the bad is that snow but the groups are active today probably you know if you catch my reaction to say they were in the minority. look if there are people as you said earlier that there are people who can be attracted to other allusion that is but invented there are some people who might be liking an ideology it's just a fortune also i want to show me the struggle to defame it to connect it with terrorism which is not true the issue of armed groups and who supports them is a phony one in particular saw and now the facts on the authorities say they are cracking down on these armed groups but it is clear that the all in the spotlight right now what isn't clear is what politics on intends to do about the groups among current al jazeera was a for about venezuela's opposition leader and says he will return home despite threats of being arrested on my toe is an act little or more he met with president clinton reno is on a tour of latin america which took him to colombia brazil paraguayan and argentina is drumming up support again and israel and president nicolas maduro the european union has urged the metro government not to arrest white house for a violating a court order not to leave the country saying not can escalate the crisis. and international humanitarian aid continues to sit on the colombia venezuela border it's by the severing of diplomatic ties between the two countries and the blockage of a bridge linking venezuela to the colombian border town of coca it we're finding alternative ways of moving freely across the border out as her husband has a story. for thousands of venezuelans who live near the colombian border crossing the duchy to river is becoming a daily routine the water is shallow but it still requires a bit of skill to make it across most of the people we encountered here are venezuelan citizens carrying heavy bags of used goods they hope to sell in colombia . this is scrap metal people take this and sell it and use the money to buy food and then take the food back to the other side. of it miss says he makes several of these trips every day and is lucky to make twelve thousand pistoles for the effort that's the equivalent of about four u.s. dollars for the bus and i and the people cross over to sell scrap metal because there are no jobs no security this keeps them going there's a heavy military presence along the colombian side of the border but officers tell us they're only here to keep the peace not prevent people from moving freely between the two countries that are for them but it's challenging crossing the border through the river it's challenging this bridge serves as the official border crossing and is usually bustling with pedestrian traffic but a week ago venezuelan officials set up barricades to prevent international aid from entering the country through colombia since then people have had to find other ways to get across the border. as many as twenty thousand people are estimated be crossing to and from minnesota every single day this river is what separates been a swell from colombia some people tell us they've been traveling for four hours or more in search of food others say what they're seeking is medical attention. this woman was rushed across the river on a stretcher after suffering a miscarriage her mother tells us they didn't know where else to go you know her mouth is purple she's vomiting infirmity it was no went to treat her if i didn't bring her here she would die. the local economies on both sides of this border rely heavily on commerce and it's clear that people are anxious for it to reopen.
