5:03 pm
>> the trial is grounded and there is no chance for any opportunity. >> in a separate case, muslim brotherhood members were sentenced to life in prison on charges for spying for hamas hezbollah and iran. just before reading the verdict the judge accused morsi of pursuing satanic goals and demonized the muslim brotherhood. some politicians say that the case is the trial of the january revolution of 2011 which toppled hosni mubarak. >> these trials are not delivering the justice we are truly hoping for. nobody should be above the law. but what should happen now is a form of political revenge. >> morsi's overthrow egypt designated the muslim brotherhood a terrorist group
5:04 pm
in 2013. mass trials and death sentences were handed out to others who support the group. they have condemned the sentence and questioned its credibility. the judiciary is independent and they can't interview. egypt is divided. many still support the muslim brotherhood, but others back using the iron fist against an outlawed group. al jazeera. >> well, mohamed morsi's death sentence was imposed just three years after he became egypt's first democratically elected president. we take a look back at what went wrong. >> mohamed morsi was sworn in as egypt's first elected civilian leader in june 2012. a leading member of the muslim brotherhood, he promised a government for all egyptians and a change from hosni mubarak.
5:05 pm
but politically and economically the following 12 months proved challenging. there were more than 9,000 protests nationwide while morsi was in power. his opponents accuse him of being a puppet of the muslim brotherhood, and allowing social problems to turn into crises. inflation scored, fuel prices skyrocketed. and fuel shortages became part of every day life. they announced a decree to push through a new constitution. >> the revolution has happened and will not stop. it's judiciary is a respected institution along with loyal members. but those who wish to hide within the constitution, i will be watching them. >> judges went on strike until morsi was forced to tear up the decree. his actions sparked further
5:06 pm
protests and polarized egyptians. on june 30 2013, millions lined the streets of cairo supporters were there to up hold the rule saying he was legitimate because it had been brought. opponents demanded his resignation, calling his time in office a failure. he conceded he made mistakes. >> how can we make sure that the january 25th revolution and the achievement of its goals and protecting legitimacy is not stolen for us. the price of legitimacy is my life. i want to take care of our people's lives. >> but for many egyptians it was too late. the military agreed over throwing morsi in a coup on july 3rd. manyhe and many of his followers have been in jail first. a spectacular fall from grace
5:07 pm
from egypt's first democratically elected president. >> with us now is the legal adviser. how is this being viewed by the icj. does it violate international law. >> yes, they have condemned the decision today for violating the fair trial rights and also the right to life of the accused. and we have said this does violate international law up for a number of reasons. the accused many of the accused were held in detention. they were detater takenned without legal counsel. they have access to legal counsel. the decision was not based on substantial and credible evidence of the guilts of each individual accused. and under the egyptian law there
5:08 pm
is no review of the sentence and the convictions of the accused because the causation is limited to errors in the law. >> we talk about fair trial. i guess it's quite difficult to sum up what a fair trial actually means. has icj been looking at egypt in these terms for many years now? >> yes we've been active there for many years. we've assessed the independence of the judiciary there for many years. we've had concerns about the independence of the judiciary in egypt for many years. what we've seen since the overthrow of president mubarak is increasing concerns relating to the of the judiciary and in particular since the ouster of president morsi have been
5:09 pm
concerns it has become increasingly political sized. >> what can it do about promoting fairer trials in egypt? what are you doing at the moment? >> we can look at the framework. we can insure that fair trial rights are observed, upheld during trials. then when we see violations we can call upon the egyptian authorities. in this instance we'll call on the authorities not to carry out the execution. >> the u.s.more pressure is
5:10 pm
going to be needed to be applied to egypt to change it's judicial system from the one they have at the moment. >> yes it comes in a variety of reforms, legal and policy reforms, and it's a long-term process in terms of training and things like that to insure reforms throughout the system, and that requires pressure from all sorts of different places, and we'll continue to advocate on that. >> really good to get your thoughts. thank you. >> well, almost 20,000 syrian refugees have entered at this hour can you since aturkey since a reopening of a border. that is something that is worrying the turkish governments. we have reports now from
5:11 pm
southern turkey. >> a few people are head to go turkey. they'll join the 20,000 who have already escaped the three-week battle for control of the strategic border town. fighters from the syrian kurdish ypg are now in charge. only last week black cloud isil fighter were here in the same place trying to stop people from leaving. but a three-week all the led by the ypg forced isil out. airstrikes from the u.s.-led coalition were an extension part of the battle plan. now the kurdish flag flies. that makes the turkish government nervous. >> the west, which is conducting aerial bombings, is unfortunately positioning terrorist amendments of the pyd and pkk in their place. >> turkey sees the ypg in syria
5:12 pm
as an off chute. it's a separatist group that has fought a 40 year battle. >> they have aheaded to their less self declared regions in northern syria. but uniquely that town is majority arab. however the kurds say it was once kurdish before they were forced out firstly by the syrian government in the 1980s and more recently by isil. the turkish government and the group of 15 syrian anti-government groups have accused the ypg of deliberately displacing the area. >> these accusations are baseless. we don't fight isil alone. arabs and christians fight with us on the front line. we didn't deliberate because it's kurdish. we treat all syrian equally regardless being majority arab
5:13 pm
or kurd or north or south. anyone can come here and validate what i'm saying. >> the loss of the area is a defeat since they swept through northern syria two years ago. the al jazeera, on the turkey syria border. >> the nato secretary general recalled russia's plan to modernize the arsenal dangerous saber rattling. vladimir putin told a crowd the new ballistic missiles would be capable of piercing any nuclear system. >> it will be able to overcome defense systems even the most technically advanced ones. >> this new saber rattling of
5:14 pm
russia is unjustified. it's destabilizing and it's dangerous. this is something which we are missing, and it's also one of the reasons why we are now increasing the preparedness of armed forces. >> well, russia has the military stock pile of 4,500 warheads. only two hundred short of the u.s. which is roughly 4,700 war heads. almost 1800 of those russian warheads are deployed strategic across the world on bases and missiles. putin state that the inter continental ballistic may cost $400 billion. that's a huge burden on an economy that is recovering from
5:15 pm
a recession. >> thanks for coming in to the studio, how serious is the ways right now between russia, the u.s. and nato? >> i think its unfortunate more than it's serious. i think its combination of a number of different factors at work here. bad timing. saber rattling on both sides. perhaps more quietly on nato's side than on russias and the consequences of some ill-thought through decisions made back in 2008 about offering both gentleman and ukraine eventually membership in nato despite repeated warnings from russia that is a strategic red line of theirs that ought not to be crossed. >> we're talking now about putting vehicles in eastern europe. and this is yet a further
5:16 pm
provocation as far as putin is concerned. he has made that very clear. this is something that was not contemplated back when the u.s. nato and russia were talking about making a new way of accommodation back in the mid 90s, back when there was a strategic agreement signed between russia and nato so they become partners. >> but after what has happened in ukraine countries like lithuania has urged for a larger nato presence in their country to defend them against russia. i mean, they got to be calling for that. now ukraine and georgia don't qualify. no matter how much we tried to offer virtual nato membership. >> and they want it. >> they do want t but are we in a position to defend them. the offer has been inflammatory
5:17 pm
of bilateral relations and it's been unfortunate. >> they say we're looking at an arms race. >> we're looking at unsequential missteps. for example this modern indication of the force has been in training for some time. they didn't modernize for 15 years because they didn't have any money after the break up of the soviet union. now they're playing catch up and retiring systems from the 1970s, which is ancient by their standards. now this is a huge provocation against nato when, in fact, it's just an long over do you catching up of modernization. >> thank you for coming in. >> still to come on the program talks aimed at ending the warm in yemen as talks in geneva
5:18 pm
continue. and we'll tell you why one of the largest groups in the philippines is handing in its weapons. and in sport find out what sparked these mass celebrations in the u.s. city of chicago. lee will have more on that a little later. >> now the united nations peacekeeping forces take too long to deploy. that is the conclusion of the panel which was asked to look at the effectiveness of peacekeeping missions. there is are chronic problems such as too much bureaucracy and lack of leadership. >> chairman of that independent
5:19 pm
panel, which relieves the report on peacekeeping. he joins us live from new york. thank you for being with us on the program. were you shocked with what you found when you undertook the whole wholesale review of the united nations? >> it was a humbling feeling that the secretary general entrusted me and my colleagues to review one of the most important feelers of the whole system, and in peace and security to reveal the special legal operations. and how to make them more effective, how to have a system and not a security council to deliver troops with enabling capacity, the way they're airborne capabilities, and also clear mandates. what we stated also in our
5:20 pm
report is that every mission has to have a political strategy. there has to be politics and command. you cannot have a peace mission without political strategy that leads you to the end of this process. >> why isn't that happening at the moment, then? >> well, because sometimes emergency situations pressure from the ground, from the people. member states themselves, the security council and there is not much talk going into the political dimensions of a problem. but yes sometimes you do have to deploy immediately. within days, weeks if necessary to save lives. but in other circumstances it has to take time. this cannot be made under
5:21 pm
pressure. it has to take time to look at the political root causes of the problems so that the mission is tailored for the particular situation. however, every time you have a political mission the multi dimensional mission, you have a security mandate that troops have to have a means everything available to them will with the system that they can receive so they can execute that mandate. >> it was back in 1948 i believe, that it was first proposed that the u.n. should have rapid reaction force. were you discussing that since 1948 and it's not yet happened. have you seen anything to suggest u.n. is going to take on board what you suggest and actually respond to it? >> well, we suggest that two
5:22 pm
things. one, enhancing supporting or the existing capability of regional organization like the african union. it is not the first time to look at owe somalia. they have had relative success. and the united nations the european union have contributed to the share of the financial burden. but what we propose is a strategic dialogue, partnership between the african union and the united nations whereby the africaen union being there in the weakened abilities they should be the one who is are the first responders, the first to be deployed. until such a time you can have a larger force. but that africa union force the first responder has torpent from
5:23 pm
assessment. because africans may have the troops. they might even have equipment or they don't have equipment but that's when member states, security council should support through assessment. africans are looking at extending force. they're working on it maybe it will be ready in relatively short period of time. a few years from now. what we propose through the security council that they will consider a small first responding force so that every time you have a measure with population under threat, that force is deployed immediately with capabilities until the security council make the next decisions taking into consideration the measure of the problem, develop political strategy with additional forces if necessary.
5:24 pm
>> one of the things that the u.n. has been in the headlines in the past few days for are the problems with some of the peace keepers accused of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse of women in the communities where they have been deployed. i think your report says that the u.n. should insure that the victims need to be compensated for the harm, but it says that the contributing countries must investigate and prosecute their national personnel. should the u.n. not also be investigating those incidents? >> well, let me also state that unfortunately strategically the abusers are widespread and also perpetrated by civilian personnel. this has for years been reported. i have words that those in the u.n. or outside immuneity under
5:25 pm
international law the conventions that regulate the immuneity is applicable. only as the functions of the individual. sexual silence sexual exploitation it has no immunity whatsoever. if a particular u.n. staff somewhere in the world is evolving in sexual violence, and there is credible evidence to that effect, the authorities of that country have the right to immediately initiate local process against that individual regardless of his status in the mission. so he has no immunity to protect if he's involved in sexual violence or sexual exploitation.
5:26 pm
but at the same time in our recommendations in relations to peace keepers. yes, they do have immunity. the u.n. international immunity measures apply to them, but it doesn't mean that they don't have responsibilities. it is their own country in their own legal system that they have to be prosecuted. in this record the u.n. is going to be much more insistent that they must report back to the united nations on to address the issue of allegations against individuals. at the same time as we propose that they will compensate sicks of sexual abuse so that because even if justice is done against the perpetrator, the woman is left behind. she is the one who will have to deal with the trauma of
5:27 pm
situation. and she has to be supported. >> thank you for joining us on al jazeera. >> thank you, it's been a pleasure. >> there has been no let up in the fighting in yemen. thousand was kilometers away representatives of the houthi rebels and allies of the ali abdullah saleh arrived for an u.n.-brokered meeting. but they say they'll only start talking when the saudi-led airstrikes stop. we have reports from geneva. >> these are the houthies, and allies of the deposed president ali abdullah saleh. they're in gee geneva for crucial talks aimed to stop fighting in yemen. they have called for all parties to agree on a two-week humanitarian truce. >> the fighting on the ground is the issue. but the biggest problem are the saudi-led airstrikes.
5:28 pm
if the different sides can agree on the decrease fire but we want the u.n. and international community to put pressure on the saudis to stop the airstrikes. >> they've had the upper hand on the ground in certain areas. yemen has been destroyed by all sorts of weapons. children and the elderly have been killed. this is why we want the war to stop and the blockade to be lifted. people are starving. there is no medicine, no fuel, and no food. >> the ongoing fight something raising concerns of more instability. the u.s. is monitoring the talks in geneva. it's been fighting al-qaeda for many years. now
5:29 pm
. >> the united nations have been trying for years to reconcile differences between yes, ma'am's keyyes,yemen's key players. that didn't work. now there is a new process followed by a houthi pull out and then negotiate a power-sharing deal that might take years. al jazeera, hashem ahelbarra. >> still to come on its al jazeera news hour why the suspension of a border agreement between germany and austria are leaving thousands strand inside italy. and the bold claims from billionaire donald trump as he announces his run for president. and nadal's warm up comes to

5:34 pm
one of the largest groups in the philippines has started to hand over its weapons. now some of the fighters are preparing to make the transition to civilian life. from manila we have these reports. >> voltairely laying down its weapons. that's what the mlif wants people to see. but after some 40 years of war the muslim rebel group is serious about peace. it signed a peace deal with the government last year and the president aquino is determined to get skeptics on its side. our brethren willingly laid down their arms knowing that there may still be violence. this an is like todaying
5:35 pm
brother, we know longer need to defend ourselves. >> the mlif's sincerity and commitment to peace was called into question when rebel fighters were seen to be involved in the killing of dozens of police command dose. it was tall a mistaken encounter, but the isn't brought a sees fire and a public outcry. many feared it would derail the peace. but many are eagle for move forward. along with the 75 assault weapons, 145 rebel fighters will begin the transition to civilian life. receiving cash aid from the government and health cards. >> what should be done here is to have everybody's help so that our aspiration and the objective of the peace process will be attained. >> these fighters are just 1% of the force but they say this is the initial stages ever
