round held in october he's opponent in the round of current liberian vice president just

a walk i got twenty eight percent of the vote it's here in the car.

that where grew up has been hyping his humble upbringing and style himself as the pro of

pork and to date a man who knows exactly what liberians want from their government protection

of politics we have it traditional voting along ethnic religious and regional lines

where you were born and grew up is important there is a hope here that's when he becomes

president he will help his community where dropped out of school at an early age to concentrate

on playing football he applied his trade in liberia until he got a break to play for the

french club a is more to go on from there on to some of the world's most glamorous clubs

a former head of liberia's petroleum refinery company and agriculture minister seventy two

year old joseph. has served as liberia's vice

president since two thousand and six his tenure as vice president will be remembered as a

period of an interrupted peace no small feat in a country torn apart by years of civil.

considered a safe by many given his long experience of the highest echelons of power in liberia

ambassador walker strongest point is his credentials in public policy and the broad perception

of him as an honest man true this line around he has an honesty capital.

in liberia where there's been so much reports of corruption he's managed to keep on touched

he will have to persuade many liberians though that he can do differently than he has done

for more than a decade many here hold the government responsible for failing to improve

their lot . will inherit the leadership of one of the poorest countries in the world

liberia's often complain about the corruption in government and the poor delivery of public

services many of them say about well the thankful for the past twelve years of peace still excited

about the prospect of to.

come another was leading the world you're likely to.

know a powerful storm that left a trail of death and destruction in the philippines has

now been downgraded typhoon tendin also to fight weather forecasts and didn't make landfall

in vietnam's mekong delta where hundreds of thousands of people were moved from their

homes however experts say heavy rain and strong winds from the weather system could still

cause damage to infrastructure across the region the storm left at least two hundred

people dead in the philippines brooklyn pride has more from the island of mindanao in the

philippines where relief and aid efforts are well underway.

this is the township of too bad it's probably one of the worst affected areas of one of

the worst affected provinces in mindanao we are down river that was the site of

a surge of water that came through here if i can stand back and just give you a quick

look at the kind of damage and trail of destruction that it left a torrent of water came down

here leaving all of these boulders some of them the size of cars these weren't here a

couple of days ago taking with it this surge of water more than one hundred houses sadly

twenty nine people are confirmed to have died here a number of the bodies are being kept

at a makeshift mortuary just a short distance away while the search continues in this area

for a further sixteen people who are missing and the search is being conducted some six

kilometers downstream it gives you an idea of the strength of the power of the water

that came through here all of mindanao like this area are assessing the damage from this

storm and looking at ways of being more prepared the next time the philippines as it is one

of the most disaster prone countries in the world does

take disaster preparedness very seriously and invest a lot in infrastructure also in

awareness training to be ready for the next time but here in mindanao given the security

situation it is an added complexity it makes it harder to introduce any of those plans

but the philippines has to think in terms of introducing those things given what we

are seeing people tell us here about stronger storms and people certainly here believe it

is the evidence of climate change that these storms are going to be the shape of things

to come.

thousands of peruvians have been demonstrating after the former president alberto fujimori

was pardoned because of poor health protests took place outside the clinic where he's being

treated.

had been serving a twenty five year sentence for crimes against humanity and corruption

the seventy nine year old was released from prison and sent to intensive care on saturday

after a severe drop in his blood pressure through his current president petro public

oshinsky says the decision to grant the pardon was the most difficult decision of his life.

well the president called the decision to grant the pardon very difficult for him.

though more seriously then it's obvious to all of us that the government he inherited

at the beginning of the ninety's the country was in a chaotic and violent crisis incurred

significant transgressions of the law as far as democracy and human rights are concerned

but i also believe his government contributed to national progress i'm convinced that those

of us who believe in democracy cannot allow alberto fujimori to die in prison in canada

is to expel a venezuelan diplomat two days after caracas through the canadian ambassador

for criticizing its human rights record venezuela's ambassador who had already been pulled out

of canada has been barred from returning nicolas maduro his government has also expelled the

brazilian envoy who is accused of interfering in domestic affairs.

the russian opposition leader alexina valmy has been barred from running

in next year's russian presidential election he's been told he is in eligible because of

a criminal conviction which he says is politically motivated he is now calling for a boycott

of the vote in march the polls show president vladimir putin is on course to be reelected

comfortably which would keep him in the kremlin until twenty twenty four roy chalons has more

now from moscow. this was no surprise at all really how mean i had been talking with colleagues

yesterday and we've been speculating that there was maybe a small chance that the tightly

controlled russian presidential system the electoral system here would be given a bit

of a shake up and maybe there would be some fresh life breathed into it most people are

assuming that putin is going to march towards a fourth term in office when the elections

are held in march next year but no that was not to be the thirteen member panel of the

central election committee decided twelve votes with one abstention so that they were

going to bar the from running

against putin now the the argument they use is that he has this prior convictions and

therefore is ineligible no valley has always said that although that may be the election

rules actually the constitution which should have primacy says that any one of sound mind

who is not in jail can run in the elections so he's going to take this to the constitutional

courts to watch them to make a decision this was a heated exchange at times he was saying

that the panel should do the right thing for once in their lives that nobody is holding

a gun to their heads and that they should stop messing around with the election the

panel fired back saying that he was brainwashing kids that he was disrespecting the election

commission and that they hinted he was politically irrelevant anyway now what is now and we do

next will of course are said he is going to take this to the

constitutional courts but he is also saying that his supporters should boycott the election

and he is saying that yes there will be street process he hasn't set a date for these yet

but he's saying that when the protests hits they will be nationwide.

twenty seventeen saw the emergence of driverless cars and trucks being tested on the roads

in the u.s. and in the u.k. the developer say more than a million lives a year could

be saved without humans behind the wheel as accidents would in theory be almost eradicated

but that could also mean a loss of millions of jobs the unions representing drivers are

calling on politicians to explain where the new jobs would come from lawrence lee as part

three of our series now on artificial intelligence.

in this brave new world of artificial intelligence the first direct effect on all our lives will

be in transport it's already begun and it will change humanity in many ways it's well

enough known by now that driverless cars and lorries are being trialled the future we're

told may involve our children not having to learn how to drive these plants the automation

back to raise the car to go to meetings in a scenario where this one even sitting in

a simulator you feel a lack of control if you don't grip the wheel or press the brakes

driving on for real involves a leap of faith.

that is true of the things in the steering wheel you are now free to engage in other

times the engineers here assure the technology is good enough for driverless travel on motorways

if not in congested cities because there's too much going on.

you know extremely busy and complex environment with lots of potential destructors people

running across roads.

so i think that's probably too complex we've certainly tried contemporary vehicle automation

both on the motorway and in urban environments.

they don't work at all in urban environments and even on

motorways they require regular interventions by human drive us.

the future it seems may be a combination of systems moving us from port to driverless

port modern rail systems near airports are driverless and people use those quite happily

the paths of the cars through space would be similar to if there were you know some

physical guide to them so i think in some cases so long as the as the speeds are fairly

low it's probably a safe proposition true believers in driverless transport say we will

be able to sleep or work in our vehicle but if that sounds good it will also mean the

loss of millions of jobs and i wonder trades unions want to know how those jobs will be

replaced we're looking to see massive massive investment in electric vehicles driverless

vehicles future mobility we need a great leap forward it's easy to understand this concern

in the u.k.

there was a massive shock when car factories which had traditionally employed thousands

of people all shut because of foreign competition this used to be the jackie were factory in

the west midlands now it's going to be a warehouse the advent of driverless cars and wide automation

could be a far greater shock still the british government reckons that driverless cars could

create up to thirty thousand jobs in the u.k. which sounds ok until you hear evidence that

says that in this part of england alone automation could cost three hundred thousand jobs it

becomes pretty clear that governments like the one in britain in the job strategy for

automation and quickly were asked to consider a world in which no humans at the wheel of

a vehicle means accidents will not happen and more than a million lives will be saved

every year driverless vehicles will be on the roads and soon but will human souse jobs

rely on transport except them and can we learn to trust the machines to safeguard the lives

of those we love lawrence lee al

jazeera london.

well the most ill to come here on al-jazeera an unpredictable and volatile election year

in kenya triggered violent protests that left many dead including a six month old baby girl

meet her family.

and a major earthquake console questioning the decision to build more nuclear power plants

in south korea.

how cold and fog has been the state of play weather wise for switzerland sudden france

but germany and austria waltz robin round the north of europe it's been rather gray

and mild it may seem the wrong way round to you but take a look at what's coming in from

the west a streak of green as a cold front usually means wet and windy weather this is

no exception so gone will be the fog from southern france and from switzerland to breezy

had great looking

sky will replace it is going to require a further reach i think from austria down through

the hunger area in play it's will be cold foggy in places maybe sunny upon the mountains

it looks gorgeous there and this carries all this process the next one folds in such a

bad time we get to wednesday when it's cold certainly not foggy now it'll be stuck in

the mountains rain for many and a completely different field that will eventually affect

things further east in the meantime a bit of a southerly push means well eleven in vienna

and ten in book arrest and still it's above zero in scandinavia now we've seen the change

in the eastern med from rather warm to not so in the last day or so and we've settled

down to middle teens to have many places twenty one encounter nineteen robot and rain is heading

down towards northern algeria.

repeat election saying the commission first needed reforms.

dallas but. this was the scene at tunis airport on

friday as women turned up for flights the start of a u.i. travel ban against women and

girls of all ages to be given it wasn't only me now been there done that i came here and

found chaos and they're saying to an indian woman under the age of thirty cannot afford

emerick plane remember money but i arrived here only for a man to come and tell me that

any woman who holds a tunis in passport is banned from boarding this airline.

two days later the u.a.e. explains the temporary travel restriction is for security reasons

the a mirage the minister of state for foreign affairs posted on twitter they had communicated

security information with tuna zia and that the u.a.e. appreciates and values to his young

woman.

to his government's took

immediate action the ministry of transport has decided to suspend emirates airlines flights

to and from to nazir to the latter finds a suitable solution to operate its flights in

accordance with international regulations and conventions emirates didn't respond to

our request for an interview to do confirm via twitter they were instructed to stop services

after its twenty eleven revolution its biggest political party has strong ties to casa currently

under blockades by the u.a.e. and three other arab countries it's quite clear to say you

on the hundred me so this decision is the most expressive yet and the most in your face

ever since the two thousand and eleven revolution emirates will remain suspended until tunisia

injured head has appeared in several other videos challenging israeli soldiers.

the final public hearing on plans to construct two nuclear power plants have been held in

south korea there are concerns however over just how safe they will be after a magnitude

five point four quake hit the country in november until last year the country was considered

a seismic free zone kathy novak now reports from all sides this is south korea's scenic

southeastern region a popular tourist destination home to stretches of coastline and eighteen

uclear reactors so when a magnitude five point four earthquake forced more than a thousand

people to evacuate their homes in november some wondered if those nuclear reactors are

safe cian young why is so worried she's been protesting in the streets that it's almost

impossible but.

i was so scared when the earthquake happened here i had evacuated from my building but

when the tremors

continued the thought of the nuclear power plants exploding hard to me. more reactors

are on the way during the election campaign president monday and promised to halt their

construction but he reversed that position after public consultations found the majority

of people wanted the existing projects completed the environmental organization greenpeace

want safety reexamined we saw the.

significant increase of the people who are concerned about the safety of nuclear reactors

to terrorists.

the twenty eleven fukushima disaster in japan happened just across the sea it's not hard

for south koreans to imagine the worst case scenario but a tsunami triggered by a magnitude

nine earthquake caused of that catastrophe and experts say that sort of event would be

extremely unlikely here in a statement korea hydro a nuclear power the company that runs

this plant says the newest reactors being

built here are designed to withstand earthquakes sixty three times more powerful than the five

point eight magnitude quake that hit the nearby city of film due in twenty sixteen that was

south korea strongest earthquake since records began in one nine hundred seventy eight.

locals are still rebuilding many replacing traditional ceramic roof tiles with more affordable

and sturdy metal sheets even if you church quakes damaged homes again uclear power advocates

say the plants are designed to contain any radiation leaks in the fine physical barrier

the capture containment is strong enough to withstand any kind of the significant creek

john young hoon says nuclear power must be part of south korea's energy supply the government

still wants to phase it out over time in the meantime the energy ministry has told south

koreans that close inspection of power plants revealed no damage from the

latest earthquake kathy novak al jazeera olson south korea fishermen have netted a hundred

thousand kilos of fish an annual winter festival in the north east of china the surface of

the frozen lake was broken and spread a three thousand meets a net and after a couple of

hours well this was the result into fishing is an annual event on the lake dating back

to ancient times.

now when hurrican slammed into the u.s. state of florida in september the damage was of

course extensive and since then much of the state has recovered but in one small farming

community the daily struggle continues here's an egalitarian. during the storm our house.

had several leaks the roof was not strong enough to sustain that when when hurricane

ima hit this poor farming community on the edge of the everglades it took maria has his

roof since then things have become worse repairs have yet to be made government help has been

slow and the hakas family home is full of mold like many here the

family couldn't afford insurance it's hard even they even though they give you extra

food stamps or whatever to the migrants or whatever it is it's still hard baghdad i said

there's twelve of us here and you know we have to split our food our you know you know

we know we're our portion residents are almost entirely dependent on agricultural jobs but

the storm took close to the loss of income and damage to homes is being felt across the

community in the market these community school built for migrants teachers so even the children

are being affected.

by not having jobs they're having money for them that's a lot of stress and sometimes

they don't have money to buy the food so there's a lot of stress for the children's too because

if they're not eating well they have a hard time coming to school and in a city where

more than half the population of thirty five thousand lives below the poverty line they

used to fending for themselves.

in the weeks following the storm teams of volunteers have handed out food and supplies

and demand hasn't slowed we

make phone calls as soon as we get product in and different churches and different organizations

show up and everything that comes in here it's not a warehouse it's a distribution center

so as soon as it comes in it moves out markedly was a poor farming community before hurricane

hit and once it's a media it needs have been met that's not going to change there was some

government help there but what we've seen overwhelmingly is a community so it's just

volunteers and members of society coming together to get this place back on its feet i mean

gallacher al-jazeera markedly florida.

Real Madrid news: Florentino Perez BANS Chelsea transfer because of Lionel Messi comments

Perez and Zinedine Zidane are long-term admirers of the winger having tried to sign him last summer. Los Blancos have always refused to meet the required £90m Chelsea would want before considering a sale.

But any possibility of reigniting their interest next month when the transfer window opens or at the end of the season have been put to bed.

Despite Zidane remaining keen on Eden Hazard, Perez has blocked any transfer due to the Belgian's latest comments about their arch-rivals Barca.

"In the last 10 or 15 years there is no team like Barcelona or any player that comes close to Leo Messi," Hazard said. And those comments have not sat well with Perez, who feels disrespected by the 26-year-old.

Diario Gol claim Zidane would still welcome Hazard in the Spanish capital but Perez has the backing from fans that the Blues star simply can't join after his comments.

Hazard may have offers elsewhere though with recent reports suggesting Jose Mourinho is keen on a reunion with him at Manchester United. The Sun claim Mourinho is planning a British record bid of £90m for Hazard.

Chelsea are hopeful of tying him down to a new deal but he has so far stalled on signing a new £300,000-a-week contract.

Man Utd news: Jesse Lingard sends message to Jose Mourinho after Burnley fightback

Manchester United were staring down the barrel of a shock defeat after Burnley went in at half-time with a 2-0 lead. Lingard was introduced after the break for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and made an instant impact by halving the deficit.

And the 25-year-old fired into the bottom corner in injury time to salvage a point for the Red Devils.

He has been deployed in a more central position in behind the strikers recently under Mourinho and has been reaping the benefits with six goals in his last seven Premier League games.

This role, further inside, allows me to be closer to the striker Jesse Lingard. And Lingard insists he is enjoying his new found role at Old Trafford. [The message] was always believe, Lingard told MUTV.  Never give up.

We knew we had another 45 minutes to play so we had to be patient, keep moving the ball, moving Burnley about, and eventually we created two clear-cut chances which we scored from.

This role, further inside, allows me to be closer to the striker, to get in the box, create more things and obviously have more shots at goal.  "I thought we could nick it towards the end but obviously time ran out and now we look forward to the next game [against Southampton].

We always have that fighting spirit, that never-give-up attitude and well see where it gets us.  .
